When do the amber heat alerts finally lift?
9pm on Sunday: until then, amber heat health alerts cover eight English regions, with only the North East on a lower yellow warning. Health officials expect this spell to hit less hard than late June's 37.7C heatwave, but say older people and anyone with heart or lung conditions remain at risk. Stay hydrated, dodge the midday sun, and check on elderly neighbours, especially around tonight's football.
