A rare amber warning has been issued from midnight on Sunday which means there could be a danger to life or potential serious illness from the high temperatures.
In England the highest temperatures of the day were around London, east England and south-east England.
This requires health and social care workers to pay particular attention to high-risk groups of people such as the elderly and vulnerable. The TUC wants employers to keep workplaces cool, relax dress codes and allow flexible working to make use of the coolest hours of the day. The Royal Life Saving Society UK has also warned people about the dangers of trying to cool off in lakes, quarries and rivers in hot weather.
