Health experts have warned that the heatwaves are becoming more likely and more extreme because of human-induced climate change.
A level 2 heat-health alert has been issued in London, the South East and East and people are asked to check on those vulnerable to extreme heat.
The Met Office said the warm spell will likely continue through much of next week and the following weekend, especially across southern areas.
