Information on update: Warning extended to Sunday morning to cater for final hot and humid night of the departing heatwave. Very hot and humid weather will continue to affect eastern and southeastern England but likely a few degrees cooler than the previous few days. Temperatures will still widely exceed 30 Celsius, peaking around 32 - 33 Celsius in London or East Anglia.

Temperatures overnight Saturday into Sunday remain unlikely to fall below high teens Celsius for most, with a few places not dropping below 20 Celsius. This will again be accompanied by high humidity at first, but fresher conditions will steadily become established from the west during the latter part of the night. Another hot day is expected in the far east of the region on Sunday, but both temperatures and humidity lower than recent days with a much lower likelihood of further impacts.
