What the amber heat alert means for your weekend
It means the heat is a health matter, not just a sunny spell, with the vulnerable and elderly most at risk. UKHSA amber alerts run until Sunday evening as the Met Office expects Friday highs of 35C to 36C in parts of England. Relief arrives on Sunday when an easterly breeze cools the south and east, though the far southwest stays hot.
