    Parts of England could be hotter than Ibiza this weekend as a ‘plume of warm air’ brings heat to the UK.

    The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has upgraded an alert for hot weather across five regions of the country as a result.

    The warnings were initially yellow but have been raised to amber for the West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West.

    An amber alert indicates that ‘weather impacts are likely to be felt across the whole health service’, according to the UKHSA.

    ‘At this level we may begin to see some health impacts across the wider population, not just the most vulnerable,’ a statement added.

    It is thought temperatures could soar up to 30°C this weekend, and the hottest day of the year so far could be surpassed.

    Further yellow heat health alerts were issued for the North East, North West, and Yorkshire and Humber, with a yellow alert for London saying in place.

    The forecaster warned some showers could become ‘torrential and thundery’, with more than 30 to 40mm potentially falling within an hour.

    Some parts of the country will see no rain, but hail, wind and lightning could hit other places.

    Oliver Clayden, from the Met Office, warned of travel disruption over the weekend due to heavy rain.

    ‘This is going to be the warmest weekend of the year, which is to be expected as we go into summer.

    ‘This weekend will also see hail mixed in with strong gusts of wind and rain hit parts of the country.’
