Britain had another hot day today, until Friday issued an extreme weather warning of 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius)-but forecasters warned that this weekend will bring heavy rain, thunderstorms and flooding.
The Met Office said that the weather in the south will be the hottest and the weather in the east will be cooler-and warns sunbathing seekers to be careful of sunburn, heatstroke, dehydration, nausea, fatigue and other heat-related illnesses.
The high temperatures will continue for the next two days, but the rain and storms spreading from the southwest on Friday night will take their place, and Saturday and Sunday will bring unstable weather to most parts of England and Wales.
The Met Office stated that Sunday’s rainfall will be “widespread and partial torrential rain”, and lightning and hail are expected, and 4 inches (100 mm) of rain may fall in some places, most of which “in a short period of time” .
Northern Ireland temporarily experienced the highest temperature on record today, reaching 88.3 degrees Fahrenheit (31.3 degrees Celsius) in Castled, County Tyrone this afternoon. The previous historical record of 88.2F (31.2C) was only set last Saturday.
As of 4pm today, the highest temperature elsewhere in the UK is 87.8 (31 degrees Celsius) in Exeter, followed by 86.9 degrees Fahrenheit (30.5 degrees Celsius) in Northwick, Devon, and 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) in London . The maximum temperature at 9 am in London, Cardiff, Norwich and Manchester is 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius).
The high temperature also interrupted travel. The Chiltern Railway Company said the track was extremely hot, which meant that the train would not be able to run between Prince Risborough and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire until 6:30 pm.
At the same time, hail the size of golf balls damaged the roofs and car hoods in Leicestershire. As the body of a teenage boy was pulled from the Trent River, the number of people killed in the water during the heat wave rose to 13.
The United Kingdom set the hottest temperature of the year at London Heathrow Airport yesterday-90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius). The previous high in 2021 was 88.9F (31.6C), which was also recorded at the airport on Sunday.

Central and southern England, Wales and Northern Ireland continue to issue amber extreme high temperature warnings. Although most parts of England will sizzle today, sporadic thunderstorms are expected in the east.
The Environment Agency issued 11 flood warnings this morning in parts of London, Essex, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire-which means that flooding may occur.
Pouring rain hit Cambridge and Essex yesterday, and a social media user found hailstones the size of a bouncy ball in Milton Keynes, some of which were so big that they shattered car windshields in Leicestershire.
The Met Office said that as of 6pm yesterday, parts of southeastern England affected by the amber thunderstorm warning had received more than 2 inches of rainfall in just a few hours.
Meteorologist Tom Morgan said that although there may be a month of rain in some areas of the warning zone, the storm is unlikely to be as severe as the one seen on Tuesday.
In some areas, windows were smashed, gardens were "leveled" by hail, and residents described the hail in Kibworth, Leicestershire as "the size of a tennis ball."
Mr. Morgan said: "Compared with yesterday's downpour and hail, the weather on weekends will be generally more humid."
Meteorological Bureau forecaster Dan Stroud (Dan Stroud) said: "We have issued some new amber thunderstorm warnings for parts of southeast London, up to parts of Essex and Kent.
'There is also one in the surrounding area of Cambridgeshire. We saw some considerable showers in the afternoon, and there were reports of lightning and hail.
"As the afternoon develops, there will be some strong rains and some slow-moving downpours, which will be seen in some places and not at all.

Mr. Stroud said that the recent hot weather brought humid air to the eastern part of the country, which caused heavy downpours.
He said there may be as much as 40 mm to 60 mm of rain in an hour, and there will be "a lot of" rain in some areas.
Commuters may be the most affected by the downpour, and Southwest Railway reported a track circuit failure in London Waterloo.

This is the moment when the "sandstorm" sweeps the Cornwall fields. A small whirlwind blew dry grass and green grass in front of passer-by Peter Nanquivir. They may occur when the ground is dry and the surface temperature is high, which will produce strong updrafts
After the cardboard boxes stored on it spontaneously ignited and caught fire, a balcony in east London was destroyed.
The London Fire Brigade said that shortly after 11 am on Saturday, firefighters received a call to an address on Connaught Road in Silvertown. Two firefighting vehicles from Stratford and Shadwell fire stations and about 10 staff attended the scene.
In the latest statement released on Monday evening, LfB stated that the balcony on the second floor of the building and various storage items were “burnt down” by fire. Part of a three-bedroom apartment on the second floor was also damaged.
There were no reports of injuries, and the fire was brought under control about an hour later. The statement added that investigators believed it was accidental, "because sunlight refracted through the hypotenuse of the balcony glass and ignited the cardboard box stored on the balcony on the second floor."
A spokesperson for LfB said: “After arriving, the staff faced a fire on the balcony on the second floor. During these summer months, the sun was particularly strong, but fires caused by refracted and reflected sunlight continued throughout the year. It can happen, and it's actually quite common. Our advice is to make sure you always keep mirrors, crystals, glass jewelry, and other reflective objects out of direct sunlight.
"Otherwise, it will be another hot, dry, sunny day, with temperatures reaching 25 to 29 degrees Celsius and a local peak of 30 to 32 degrees Celsius in the southwest."

The temperature has risen so high in recent days that the roads are melting-parliaments across the country are urgently repairing surfaces damaged by the heat.
In Gloucestershire, because part of A38 is considered unsafe, emergency maintenance must be carried out. Pour the gravel on the molten tar to solidify and reattach to the surface.
The Somerset County Council also stated that due to the extremely hot temperatures, roads across the county have begun to melt. Local authorities have deployed highway teams to deal with the affected roads.
The city council tweeted: “The heat has caused some roads to melt (yes, melt). We are doing everything we can to protect the roads.
"A sunny day of 20 degrees Celsius is enough to generate a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius on the ground, because the dark asphalt pavement absorbs a lot of heat, which will accumulate during the hottest time between noon and 5 pm."
'When this happens, we will send a team to spread the granite dust to absorb the soft asphalt and stabilize the road.
'The road network has 5% of the'hot rolled bitumen polymer modified binder' roads. These can absorb up to 80C. But these are more expensive.
"This is especially problematic in countries that have experienced two extreme weathers.
"Think of asphalt as chocolate-it melts and becomes soft when it is hot, and hardens and becomes brittle when it is cold.
'So it will not maintain the same intensity throughout the year. We will continue to monitor the situation in the next few days.
Due to climate change driven by human activities, heat waves are becoming more frequent and extreme. Scientific analysis has found that events such as record high temperatures in the United Kingdom and Europe in 2019 and the devastating heat waves in Canada and the United States in recent weeks have occurred. The possibilities are getting bigger and bigger. Severe due to global warming.
Since the pre-industrial era, the world has warmed by about 1.2 degrees Celsius, and the temperature will continue to rise, causing greater climate impact, if there is no urgent and major global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

'The hail stones are so big, I have never seen anything like this. The only thing I can compare is the monsoon season when I go to Thailand. The hail was so severe that it smashed the rear windshield of my car.
"I know other people in the village. Their car windows were also smashed. But because some houses were flooded and the roof of the local elementary school collapsed, we got off the car with ease. This happened so quickly.
It only lasted about 45 minutes, but the damage it caused was profound. This is really crazy. The loss must reach hundreds or even thousands of pounds. But just a few hundred meters away, it is still bright sunshine.
"You don’t think of it in this country, but after we have experienced high temperatures, a storm will definitely come. This is a surreal experience. For a minute you are bathed in bright sunshine, and then suddenly the noise starts to echo around the house. .

"This is a section of the road I walk twice a day, and it is safe to say that such a thing has never happened before," she said. "Until the tractor stopped and I saw huge tarmac sticking to his tires, I didn't think of anything else.
"I passed slowly, but almost immediately realized something was wrong, because if I were driving at more than 30 mph, my steering wheel would shake violently."
Louis Hanley’s tire damage is shown in the picture (right). At around 5pm on Monday, a motorist from Hale, Cornwall, headed to Leedstown along the B3302 to check her horses-the temperature in the county was 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius).
Ms. Hanley recalled that when she noticed the lack of a "large" tarmac where the driver used to drive on the road, it "sounded like [she] was driving in the water".
Thinking that she might have punctured a tire, she came to the yard where her horse was put-but there was found that it was not a puncture at all-but that part of the road had actually melted onto her tyre.
"Both passenger side tires were completely covered by melted tarmac," she said. "I immediately called my garage and asked me what to do. They didn't know what I was describing on the phone, and might think I was too exaggerated, so let me go over and let them see.
Ms. Hanley told CornwallLive that even the mechanics in her garage were "stunned." They had never seen anything like this because they managed to scrape most of the tarmac while it was still hot.
"About five people working there came out to take a look, and we finally decided that we could scrape most of it when the weather was still hot. They did a very good job on the front tires, but the rear tires are more difficult to clean. They suggested I drove back slowly to see if the apron would fall off on its own, but if I am worried, please call them immediately.
She said,'It's been two days now and Louise said that there is still a bit of asphalt on her tires, but most of the stones have fallen off. I hope I don’t have to buy new tires, but later today I will suddenly come over and ask these people to check if they can drive safely.
