The government has issued air pollution warnings as temperatures are set to climb towards 27C (more than 80F) in south-east England and the Midlands on Sunday.
The warm weather, which threatens to be hotter than in parts of the Mediterranean, may be accompanied by moderate air pollution, with some local hotspots. Small areas in south-west England and western Scotland could be at higher risk by Sunday.
Defra, the department responsible for official pollution warnings, said those with lung or heart problems who experience symptoms should consider avoiding strenuous activity, particularly outdoors.
