A warm weather warning has been issued for Liverpool amid a mini heatwave.
Sunday (May 24) saw the UK record its hottest May day for 79 years with temperatures surpassing 32°C in some regions that could rise to 34°C this week.
The Met Office has forecast Liverpool will see a high temperature of 33°C on Monday with the warm spell expected to continue until at least Wednesday.
In line with the rising figures, the UK Health Security Agency has issued heat-health alert warnings for numerous areas of the country including the Merseyside region.
Yellow alerts are currently in effect for the North West, North East, South East and Yorkshire and the Humber until 5pm on Wednesday (May 27).
It means health and social care services face significant impact due to the heat which could see a rise in deaths among those over 65 and with health conditions.
The Met Office said: “With strong sunshine and high temperatures, there are several factors to consider. UV levels will be high throughout the weekend, and pollen levels are also expected to be very high, which could cause issues for those with allergies.
“Coastal areas may offer some respite from the heat, although sea temperatures remain relatively cold. This can create a sharp contrast between air and water temperatures, so caution is advised for those entering the sea.”
