A yellow heat health alert has been issued for large parts of the UK - with warm summer weather set to return from next week. The warning has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) from 12pm on Monday until 6pm on Wednesday. The alert covers Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, East of England, London, the southeast and the southwest. The UKHSA said the alert means significant impacts are possible across health and social care services due to the high temperatures. According to the Met Office, temperatures are set to hit 27C in parts of southern England over the weekend, with bright sunny weather in the early part of the week and temperatures expected to exceed 30C in places across parts of central, southern and eastern England on Monday and Tuesday. Sky News' Kirsty McCabe said: "High pressure will extend from the Azores allowing temperatures to rise, especially in the south where heatwave criteria is likely to be met early next week. "The fourth heatwave of the summer will see temperatures reach the high twenties or low thirties, peaking around 33C on Tuesday across central and southern parts of England. "Overnight temperatures will also rise, leading to some warm and stuffy nights from Monday night onwards. "The current wet and unseasonably windy conditions across northern Scotland will also clear next week, with warmer weather expected here too." Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Steven Keates, said: "We're confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday.

Eye-watering price of an Oasis Edinburgh hotel room as thousands head for Murrayfield
Hotels in the capital city have seen an 88 per cent hike in price as fans clamour for a bed for the night after seeing their idols With Oasis set to play at Edinburgh's Murrayfield for three nights from tonight (Friday 8 August) new research has shown the staggering price of a hotel in the city while the Britpop idols are in town. Data shows that the capital city has seen prices surge meaning fans could face paying more for a bed than for their ticket.

They found the average cost of a bed for the night on the dates Oasis are playing at Murrayfield has soared by 88 per cent. And that means Scottish fans are having to shell out £430 for one night's accommodation after the concert.
