Met Office extends amber warning for Cambridgeshire for ‘final hot and humid night’

Temperatures overnight from Saturday into Sunday remain unlikely to fall below the high teens

An amber weather warning has been extended with experts forecasting a “final hot and humid night”. The Met Office’s warning for Cambridgeshire will now run until 9am on Sunday morning (June 28).

Meteorologists are forecasting that hot and humid weather will continue over parts of east and south-east England. But the Met Office says the extension to Sunday morning is “to cater for [the] final hot and humid night of the departing heatwave”.

The very hot and humid weather is expected to continue to affect the region, but likely a few degrees cooler than the past couple of days. Temperatures will still widely exceed 30C, peaking around 32 to 33C in East Anglia.

They add: “Temperatures overnight Saturday into Sunday remain unlikely to fall below high teens Celsius for most, with a few places not dropping below 20C. This will again be accompanied by high humidity at first, but fresher conditions will steadily become established from the west during the latter part of the night.

“Another hot day is expected in the far east of the region on Sunday, but both temperatures and humidity lower than recent days with a much lower likelihood of further impacts.”

The warning continues to cover Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas such as Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, central Bedfordshire, and more. It also runs to areas such as Lincolnshire and West Sussex.
