The heat is still on across Leicestershire and is set to continue through to the weekend.
Today will see temperatures reaching a maximum of 29C and falling to a not very comfortable 18C at night.
Tomorrow will be another dry, hot and sunny day with temperatures climbing to 27C.
The dry, sunny weather will continue into the weekend with more cloud forecast for Sunday and the possibility of some thundery showers.
Meanwhile, the Met Office sent out health warnings today as Leicestershire and the rest of Britain sweltered in the first heatwave for seven years.
After five consecutive days basking in 30°C plus temperatures, forecasters said that Britain was in its first prolonged heatwave since 2006.
The Met Office responded by issuing a "level three heat health watch" for London and the South East.
Level three warnings are just below the most serious alerts and are put out when high temperatures place the very young, the very old and those with chronic diseases at risk.
Leicestershire is currently on a level two alert and people are urged to be prepared to take action if the heatwave conditions continue.
