LONDON: British health officials are warning people across the country to take precautions when out in the sun as the UK bakes under its first heat wave of the year. Temperatures are expected to peak at 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of eastern England on Saturday following a week of unusually warm weather, according to the national weather agency the Met Office. That’s about 12 C (22 F) higher than normal for this time of year.

Friday and Saturday nights will be uncomfortable for sleeping, with temperatures possibly staying above 20C (68F) in parts of the UK, which is known as a 'tropical night'.

The Government's UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned that the heatwave could bring 'a rise in deaths, particularly among those ages 65 and over or with health conditions'.

Heat health alerts remain in place across England as Suffolk becomes the first area to enter a heatwave.
