The Met Office is to issue its first ever extreme heat warning today as the UK experiences sweltering conditions in parts of the country.
It is expected to be in place for South Wales, West Midlands, southwest England and further east into Hampshire as far as the Isle of Wight.
The new weather warning level is likely to be in place until the end of Thursday when the heat is forecast to break down.
