This weekend could see the hottest day of the year, according to Met Office predictions
Forecasters expect September's heatwave to peak on Saturday with temperatures potentially reaching as high as 33C in parts of the country.
This means vulnerable groups of people such as those over the age of 65 or living with a pre-existing health condition should avoid excessively high temperatures due to adverse health risks. It is unusual for temperatures to remain this high for so long at this time of year, with the Met Office predicting five to six days above 30C in some areas.
