Northern Ireland and Scotland will see temperatures soar as the UK's third heatwave of the year spreads across the country. Scotland is likely to see its warmest day of the year with temperatures of up to 31C.

Fire chiefs have urged people to stay safe as they warned of the increased risks of wildfires and drowning during the heatwave.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales record warmest day of the year in heatwave - It was hot in England as well, with highs of 33.1C, but no records were broken.

You can expect temperatures to climb as high as 30C in Glasgow, Stirlingshire, Angus, and parts of the Highlands. Sunday is likely to be the hottest day of this spell, with a strong chance of hitting 30C — which would be the first time this year.

Government ministers are being told to set a maximum workplace temperature as Scotland braces for a record-breaking heatwave. Temperatures are expected to hit 25C or higher for at least three consecutive days. The forecasts is for temperatures up to 30C for Glasgow, Stirlingshire, Angus and parts of the Highlands on Saturday.

As the UK indulges in a balmy weekend of barbecues and paddling pools, there may seem no end to the current third heatwave of the year. But forecasters are suggesting that the weather could soon shift to more cooler temperatures.

The full extent of the fire isn’t yet clear, but London Fire Brigade says it’s had more than 20 calls about the blaze and has sent 10 crews - including a "wildfire response vehicle" - to the scene near Capel Road in Manor Park.
