Parts of Britain are set to hit 34C with health alerts in force amid water shortages in England.
The country's fourth heatwave of the summer will be at its peak today, with Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and the outskirts of London set to see the highest temperatures.
An amber health alert came into force at 9am for the Midlands, South East, East of England, and London. There are yellow alerts in place across the rest of England.
Today will be the fourteenth day that the mercury has risen past the 30C mark, with the heatwave set to continue for the rest of this week. Temperatures are expected to hit 31C on Friday.
It comes amid the National Drought Group declaring that England is suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls.
