A yellow heat health warning has been issued across Essex with the hot weather set to return.

From next week the warm summer weather could see temperatures hit 30C across six regions.

The alert covers East of England, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, London, the southeast and the southwest.

The warning has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) from Monday, August 11 from noon until 6pm on Wednesday, August 13.

The UKHSA say the alert means significant impacts are possible across health and social care services due to the high temperatures.

This includes the potential for a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions.

The latest warning comes after the UK has already experienced three heatwaves this summer.

A combination of amber and yellow heat health warnings were issued across England last month when temperatures exceeded 30C in several parts of the country.
