Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at the UKHSA, said: " During periods of hot weather, it is especially important to keep checking on those who are most vulnerable, such as older people and those with heart or lung conditions.
" Make sure to look out for signs of heat exhaustion and follow our simple health advice to beat The Heat . "
A Cold Front is expected to push across the country from the north through the weekend, bringing a return to average temperatures, although high temperatures are expected to remain in East Sussex and Kent with 29C possible.
Dr Mark Mccarthy , head of the Met Office 's National Climate Information Centre, said Climate Change had increased the average temperatures of UK summers and the likelihood of experiencing more extreme temperatures during hot spells and heatwaves.
He Said : " Reaching 34°C during June is a rare, but not unprecedented, event in the historical climate records for the UK.
" But if it should happen This Week it would be notable that it would have occurred on Three Days during The Last six Junes. "
