Last month was England’s warmest June on record – and the second warmest across the as a whole.

The mercury reached 37.7C in Lingwood, , last month – beating the previous record of 35.6C dating back five decades.

Sunworshippers flocked in their droves to parks and pools to make the most of the sunny .

And Brits are being urged to keep the sun cream on standby – as the predicts temperatures will soon return to the 30s.

The UK Security Agency (UKHSA) has now issued a yellow heat health alert for certain parts of the UK.

A warning area currently covers the East Midlands, east, south-east and south-west England and London.

Officials have warned vulnerable people are most at risk from 12pm on Saturday until 5pm next Wednesday.

The UKHSA said minor impacts are likely across health and social care services because of the high temperatures.

It also warned of a potential increase in water-related incidents, including risks from cold water shock and drowning.

It comes as the body of a teenager was found after a 15-year-old boy vanished in the water on Saturday afternoon.

The teen’s body was recovered from the water in Clifton Country Park in Swinton, Greater Manchester.

Another from the water nearby in Cowbury Reservoir in Tameside on Saturday evening.

And a was pulled from the water at Island Lodge reservoir in Bury, Greater , on Sunday night.

But the next blast of heat is unlikely to smash records, according to the experts.

While we may be in for another scorcher, the Met Office says it’s not likely we’ll see a repeat of the extreme temperatures of last week.

But with the mercury hovering around the 30C mark, it will still feel noticeably warmer.

The Met Office previously said temperatures in the south this week will be in the low to mid-20s.

They are then expected to rise to the high 20s or early 30s this weekend and into next week.

The fresh heat alert comes after a last week, during which the Met Office issued a rare red warning for extreme heat.

UKHSA officials also put red heat health alerts in place during the time.

Met Office Scientist Dr Emily Carlisle said: “This June is a clear example of how UK weather can deliver both unsettled conditions and record-breaking heat within the same month.

“The intensity of the late June heatwave, combined with exceptionally warm nights, has driven England’s warmest June on record for mean temperature, while the UK and Wales recorded their second warmest June on record.”
