Sunday will be a cooler day for the whole of the UK as temperatures fall widely by a couple of degrees.
A few locations will finally mark the end to their third heatwave of the year, including Usk in Monmouthshire and Exeter in Devon.
Both places are forecast to see temperatures drop beneath the heatwave threshold for the first time in 21 consecutive days.
Temperatures will largely be in the mid-20s Celsius for the south-east of the UK and in the mid-teens Celsius further north.
For many, the relief from the heat will be short-lived as high pressure is set to build close to the south of the UK next week.
This will stall rain-bearing weather fronts and any wet weather will become confined to northern and western areas – especially north-west Scotland.
In southern parts of the UK, temperatures look set to climb once again.
Tapping into the heat over the near continent, the UK is likely to enter another heatwave, with temperatures in England and Wales forecast to peak around 25-32C for much of next week.
Yellow heat health alerts will come into effect for Yorkshire and Humber, the West and East Midlands, the East of England, London, south-east and south-west, at 9:00 BST on 28 July 2026 and last until 9:00 BST on 31 July.
The UKHSA warns that heat is expected to cause minor impacts for health and social care services, with an increased risk to life for vulnerable people.
