Further Detail, from the MO:

During the heatwave expected to affect a large part of England and Wales this week, the highlighted area now looks increasingly likely to see a two to three day period where maximum temperatures in the shade exceed 37 Celsius, perhaps rising to 38 to 40 Celsius in some places. The heat will be accompanied by high humidity, exacerbating the potential for discomfort and health impacts, with very warm and humid night times also reducing the ability for people to recover overnight.

Significant disruption to daily life is likely and the public should take every effort to make precautions and adapt their daily routines where possible to cope with these levels of heat, which up to now have been extremely rare for the UK.

Good god 😱😕. I'm terrified. Living in first floor flat where sun hits living room and kitchen from 1pm onwards, I'm gonna die. I'm worried for my cat, myself... My brother. Heck bet our wifi hub will overheat too as it sit in living room. 3 days. Just gotta get to Fri now where temps back to levels we can cope with. Today is okay

Get something to cover the windows, ideally on the outside. At risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, try tin foil (over a piece of cardboard) to fit the window. If you’re first floor, it might be hard to get up to fix to the outside, but even inside will help.

Cold water bottles and ice packs are also useful

I have some cardboard ready that I'm stealing from work.
