PIC SHOWS A HORSE APTLY CALLED HEATWAVE COOLING OFF IN A FIELD NEAR NEWMARKET ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WENT OVER 30C. The Met Office has raised its heatwave alert level in parts of England, as hot and humid conditions look set to continue until Friday. London and the South East are now on Level 3 of four, with temperatures set to reach at least 32C (89.6F). The Department of Health has issued special advice for the elderly and other people at risk from the heat. Other areas are cooler and heavy rain is likely in parts of Wales, Scotland and south-west and northern England. It is the first time the Met Office has issued a Level 3 alert since June 2006. It occurs when temperatures reach a certain threshold and are sustained in one or more regions over two nights and the intervening day.
