The region will be lashed by thunderstorms while temperatures hit 28C
Yesterday , a warning was issued for 2pm on Saturday, covering Wales and the south east, south west and north west of England including almost all of Greater Manchester. Now, a second alert has been issued into Sunday, covering all of Greater Manchester, as well as parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and west England.
From Sunday, it added: "Staying hot and humid for many through this period, with plenty of sunny spells. The continued risk of some heavy and thundery showers developing. Warm and humid nights." This threshold must be met or exceeded for three consecutive days in a row to class as a heatwave. Between Saturday and Thursday, the mercury will peak between 25C and 28C - meaning a week-long heatwave is in store, which could even go on for longer.
The alert is in place from 9am on Friday, June 9 to Monday morning on June 12. The public is being warned to check on loved ones over the age of 65 and those with pre-existing medical conditions as the temperatures rise.
