Brits are bracing for a scorching Sunday with temperatures set to soar, prompting the Met Office to suggest staying indoors during peak heat hours. The BBC weather forecast predicts London and Manchester will bask in highs of 26C, while Liverpool and Birmingham are not far behind at 25C, and Leeds will see a warm 24C.
The upcoming week's scorcher is expected to hit its peak on Sunday before the mercury begins to dip from Monday. Health and weather boffins warn that UV rays are most intense between 11am and 3pm, which could lead to heat exhaustion or other heat-related maladies.
