UK braces for heat spike as Met Office issues amber warning

The UK will experience a significant rise in temperatures over the coming days, with the Met Office set to issue an amber extreme heat warning.

Following a relatively cooler Saturday, conditions will warm substantially. Forecasters predict temperatures may reach 36 degrees Celsius by Tuesday, marking a notable shift from the weekend's milder conditions.

The amber alert signals the Met Office's assessment that extreme heat poses a risk to health and the general population. The warning will take effect as temperatures climb across the country.
