The Met Office has now issued a level three amber warning, meaning that there is a 90 per cent chance of heatwave conditions, for Hampshire between Thursday and Sunday.

On its website, the forecasting service said: ‘Increasingly hot conditions likely across southeastern parts of England from Friday as warm air spreads north from France.

‘However, cooler and cloudier conditions with a few showers then expected to spread from the northeast later on Saturday.

‘Look out for others, especially older people, young children and babies and those with underlying health conditions.

‘Close curtains on rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler and remember it may be cooler outdoors than indoors.
