An amber-heat health alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), is currently in place for the county, with the thermometer set to reach 30C today.

But next week is forecast to be even hotter with temperatures on Tuesday in the mid 30s in many places including Norwich, Attleborough, King's Lynn and Thetford.

BBC weather presenter Sara Thornton said: "The early signs are that the last weekend of June could be even hotter, with some forecast models showing temperatures of 35C as very hot air from Europe continues to push our way."
