Temperatures hit 34C on Thursday, meaning this year has seen the most days with 34C or higher in UK history, the Met Office has confirmed. It comes as new heat alerts have been issued as the UK experiences its third heatwave in as many months, with temperatures expected to soar as high as 36C. Some schools have cancelled sports days and National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) has warned of wildfires due to the dry weather. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) upgraded its heat alerts which end at 9pm on Sunday, as the warmth spreads further north. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
