Parts of Cambridgeshire could record their hottest day of the year this weekend with temperatures set to soar to 30C, according to the Met Office.
The scorching forecast has triggered a 48-hour heat warning which comes into effect at 9am on Sunday (August 11) and ends at 9am on Tuesday (August 13).
Issued by the UK Health and Security Agency, the amber alert means the weather could have 'significant' impacts on health and the social care sector.
The alert says: "Observed increase in mortality across the population likely, particularly in the 65+ age group or those with health conditions, but impacts may also be seen in younger age groups."
It adds: "Increased demand for remote healthcare services likely. Internal temperatures in care settings (hospitals and care homes) may exceed recommended threshold for clinical risk assessment.
"Impact on ability of services to be delivered due to heat effects on workforce possible and many indoor environments likely to be overheating, leading to increased risk to vulnerable people living independently in the community as well as in care settings."
The Met Office forecast for Cambridgeshire shows Ely, Huntingdon and Peterborough could see temperatures soar to as high as 29C on Sunday before turning slightly cooler with highs of 25C on Monday.
