Temperatures are set to reach 32C (90F) across many southern parts of Britain over the next few days, leading to the chance of severe thunderstorms.
Today, England and Wales will be mainly dry with spells of warm sunshine and it will feel very warm, especially across the southeast.
Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic will also have sunny spells, however western Scotland may see some scattered showers.
Temperatures will widely reach the mid to high 20s across England and Wales, and up to 30C (86F) possible in the southeast.
However, Scotland and Ireland will be several degrees cooler.
By this evening, thundery showers will spread into Kerry and Cork and move northwards through the night across most of the Republic of Ireland as well as parts of southwest England, Wales, the Midlands and central and southern England.
The heaviest and most torrential downpours are likely over Ireland. It will be a warm and muggy night as well, especially in the south.
Friday will be another very warm day across England and Wales with high humidity.
The showers and thunderstorms will continue spreading northwards into Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland.
As the showers clear, long spells of sunshine will develop in the south. Temperatures will be high again, up to 32C (90F) in the south.
The forecast has brought health warnings - especially for the elderly, the young and those with serious illnesses.
Dr Paul Cosford, director for health protection at PHE, said: "Older people and those with long-term illnesses are particularly vulnerable to the effects of very hot weather, so it's important to look out for them and keep indoor areas as cool as possible."
The Met Office has declared a level 2 heat-health alert, which is activated when there is at least a 60% chance of temperatures being high enough on at least two consecutive days and into the night to have a impact on health.
The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for rain for much of the UK, with "significant" flooding possible.
