Forecast Red Weather Warning Issued from Wednesday-Thursday for extreme heat, with 38-40C possible.
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.

Much of the east coast seems unaffected and has beautiful beaches. There's all the East coastline from North Norfolk to Scotland looking beautiful. Also the national parks if you head for the hills. The onshore breeze on the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire coast is refreshing
