Met Office chief forecaster Andy Page said: “The UK is seeing a gradual shift in conditions over the weekend, with those to the south east of England retaining the warmth the longest.
“There an amber extreme heat warning will remain in force, though peaks are more likely to be in the low 30s Celsius.”
That means Sunday will officially mark the end of the heatwave for all of us.
The hot spell saw temperatures exceed 36C in some places, with Friday confirmed by the Met Office as having been the UK’s hottest June day on record.
The extreme conditions saw road and rail passengers urged to avoid non-essential travel, while schools and nurseries were forced to close.
A hosepipe ban was also been brought in for South East Water customers in Kent.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, hundreds of flights at both Gatwick and London’s Heathrow were also been delayed, many due to thunderstorms, with disruption expected to continue overnight.
