A weather alert warning of hot temperatures has been issued for parts of England, including the Isle of Wight.

The heat-health alert is a new system introduced by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office.

It means that warm weather is on its way, which could increase the risk to vulnerable populations and those aged over 65, or those with pre-existing health conditions.

Seven regions are included in the latest alert, including the entire South East and the South West.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: "This heat-health alert means that in the coming days we are likely to experience another sustained period of hot weather, so it’s important that everyone takes sensible precautions while enjoying the sun.

"If you have friends, family or neighbours who are more vulnerable, it is important to check in on them and ensure they are aware of the forecasts and are following the necessary advice."

The Isle of Wight Met Service is predicting highs of 22°C tomorrow (Friday), 23°C on Saturday (June 24) and 24°C on Sunday (June 25), in some parts of the Island.

The alert is in force between 9am tomorrow and 9am on Monday (June 26).
