Hot weather alert as 14 towns to feel worst of 95F heatbomb in hours - full list

A scorching heatbomb could be about to engulf parts of Britain, with temperatures set to soar past 35C (95F) in some areas. Terrifying weather maps from Netweather.tv show large parts of the south and east of England turning deep red by 3pm on Monday, June 30 as hot weather hits.

The intense colour covers much of London and the Home Counties, meaning extreme heat is likely to make conditions uncomfortable for millions. The weather maps suggest that temperatures could exceed 35C in the capital, with other towns in the region also expected to bake.

Slough, Reading, Crawley, Luton, Chelmsford, Maidstone, Guildford, Aldershot, Woking, Redhill, Sevenoaks, Chatham, and Basildon could be among the worst-hit places.

Much of the rest of southern England could also be sweltering, with temperatures between 30C and 34C.

The Midlands and parts of East Anglia will not be far behind.

Maps also show a surge of heat building across Europe and pushing northwards towards the UK.

By Monday evening, a band of dark red and purple will have spread from France, through the Low Countries, and deep into southern and eastern Britain.

According to the Met Office, the weekend will bring rising temperatures, especially for central and eastern England.

Saturday and Sunday are expected to be warm and muggy, with lighter winds adding to the discomfort.

"Hot and sunny for southern and eastern areas on Monday," the Met Office said in its latest forecast.

The forecaster added: "Cloudier and breezier in the northwest with rain. This cloud and rain gradually moving southeast, introducing fresher conditions by mid-week."

Meanwhile, a widespread amber heat alert is currently in place amid concerns for the health risks related to the high temperatures battering the UK. The amber warning by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is in place in five regions - East Midlands, South East, South West, East and London - from 12pm on Friday, June 27, to 6pm on Tuesday, July 1.

However, relief may be on the way after new weather maps from forecasters WXCharts revealed a band of wet conditions racing towards the country from Monday, June 30, into Tuesday, July 1.

The Met Office also warned that while most areas will stay dry on Sunday, it will feel warmer than Saturday as winds ease.

Nights will be muggy in many parts of England and Wales, especially in built-up urban areas.

People are being urged to take care in the heat, drink plenty of water, and avoid long periods in the sun, especially in the middle of the day when temperatures are at their highest.
