Incredible UK weather maps turn volcanic red as 29C heat bomb triggers urgent alert
Weather maps from WXCharts show that areas around London and Birmingham could be the worst affected as temperature levels soar.
Britain will be swept through a spell of warm and humid air as the latest weather maps show a 29C heat bomb crashing into the UK. Maps from WXCharts show that the parts of the UK will witness dry and settled conditions on Sunday and Monday after days of showery outbreak.
According to the weather maps, the southern parts of the country will bask in glorious sunshine. A yellow heat health alert has also been issued for East of England and South East.
The alert starts at 9 pm on Saturday, 31 August, and lasts until 9am on Monday, 2 September. The regions affected are the East of England and South East only.
The UK Health Security Agency said: “Minor impacts are possible across the health and social care sector, including increased use of healthcare services by the vulnerable population, increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm. But these are not expected.”

“Previous runs had eastern England seeing most of the shower activity but that has changed to more inland so just some uncertainty for Sunday. These showers could include heavy even thundery bursts for southern England.
“There will still be large areas of fair, dry and warm weather. It will feel close and warmer for southern Britain with lighter winds and this airflow from France. The temperature range is from 22 to 30C but will depend on the cloud cover and showers.
“In any sunny spells, it will feel very warm and close. For the northern half of Britain and Northern Ireland, there will be more of an easterly wind. Glasgow could see 21C but Aberdeen might stay at 16C.”
Met Office's five-day forecast
Today:
Fine for most places but cloudier in the south and southwest with a few showers around southwest coasts. Light winds but fresh in the northwest. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine.
Tonight:
Cloudier in the south with showery rain pushing north across England and Wales, heavy and possibly thundery. Feeling warmer here, but chilly in the north under clearer skies.
Sunday:
A cloudier day for many with showery outbreaks of rain pushing northwards, heavy and thundery at times. Drier and brighter in the far northwest. Warm and humid in the southeast.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
Unsettled into the new working week with a chance of showers and some longer spells of heavy rain. Turning somewhat drier through Wednesday with sunny spells and showers.
According to the forecasters, it will be cool overnight for northern parts of the UK with clear skies and this fresher airflow but the much warmer continental air will return to the southeast.
Jo Farrow, a meteorologist with Netweather.tv wrote in her blog: “It will be a milder night for much of southern Britain, with London staying close to 17C.
“Again there is a signal for showers heading northwards but on Sunday there will be more low cloud, dampness and showery outbreaks reaching up through England and Wales, even to the Irish Sea.
