Emergency services warn of wildfires as heatwave is forecast for this weekend

Authorities reminded the public to check in with older people and those with health conditions as forecasters predicted a burst of heat expected to peak this weekend before easing early next week.

Most places in southern England will reach temperatures above the threshold for a heatwave - recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days - by this weekend.

In London - where the threshold is 28C - temperatures could peak at 29C on Thursday and 31C on Friday, before hitting 32C on Saturday.

The hot weather will then spread north, with Manchester and Newcastle experiencing temperatures into the late 20s by the weekend.
