Met Office chief forecaster Andy Page said: “The UK is seeing a gradual shift in conditions over the weekend, with those to the south east of England retaining the warmth the longest.<\/p>\n
“There an amber extreme heat warning will remain in force, though peaks are more likely to be in the low 30s Celsius.”<\/p>\n
That means Sunday will officially mark the end of the heatwave for all of us.<\/p>\n
The hot spell saw temperatures exceed 36C in some places, with Friday confirmed by the Met Office as having been the UK’s hottest June day on record.<\/p>\n
The extreme conditions saw road and rail passengers urged to avoid non-essential travel, while schools and nurseries were forced to close. <\/p>\n
A hosepipe ban was also been brought in for South East Water customers<\/a> in Kent.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, on Saturday, hundreds of flights at both Gatwick and London’s Heathrow were also been delayed, many due to thunderstorms, with disruption expected to continue overnight. <\/p>\n Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, external<\/a>, X, external<\/a>, and on Instagram, external<\/a> and listen to BBC Radio Sussex on Sounds<\/a>.
