Isle Of Wight Amber Heat Alert Extended

A Met Office Amber Heat Alert - which covers the Isle of Wight - has been extended.

Initially, the warning was just for this Sunday (17), before it was extended to Monday. It is now in place to cover Tuesday too.

The warning will come into force on midnight Saturday, until midnight Tuesday.

The Met Office said:

"Temperatures will rise again this weekend, most likely peaking on Monday or Tuesday, then most probably declining thereafter.

"Latest evidence supports the idea of a trend towards a slightly later onset of high temperatures.

"Some exceptionally high temperatures are possible both by day and by night; the cumulative effects of very warm nights (particularly in urbanised areas) and hot days are likely to bring widespread impacts to people and infrastructure.

"Although most likely less exceptional, it should also be noted that very warm to hot conditions are also probable across the majority of the rest of the UK."
