Temperatures are set to rise over the next few days, with parts of Suffolk expected to reach highs of 34C.

Those searching for Mediterranean temperatures on Monday won't need to venture far with the Met Office predicting the mercury will reach the low 30s in parts of the county.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and The Met Office issued a yellow heat health warning from 9am on Sunday, August 11 until 9am on Wednesday, August 14.

Parts of the East of England, including Suffolk, are expected to reach temperatures higher than the 25C threshold across three consecutive days. 

With temperatures expected to peak in the afternoon, Mildenhall and Santon Downham are expected to be the hottest place in the county with a forecasted high of 34C. 

Places such as Sudbury, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill are expected to be reach 22C on Monday. 

Beachgoers making a trip to the Suffolk coast will enjoy peak temperatures of 28C at Southwold and Aldeburgh. 

Felixstowe and Lowestoft are expected to reach highs of 27C. 

The hotter weather set to arrive tomorrow has, in part, been influenced by tropical Storm Debby, which has brought extreme rainfall to the east coast of the USA.

The storm will be felt indirectly in parts of the UK, including Norfolk, through its influence on the jet stream - a fast, narrow current of air that flows in an easterly direction across the globe 

Met Office chief meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: “Tropical Storm Debby in North America is helping to strengthen the jet stream and is causing it to meander over the Atlantic.

"This will allow hot air to move into the UK later this weekend and early next week."
