Good Morning Britain was hosted by Tom Swarbrick and Ranvir Singh on Tuesday.
During the latest instalment, Tom, 39, and Ranvir, 48, spoke to correspondent Nick Dixon who was at Knockhatch Adventure Park in East Sussex.
Talking about the UK heatwave, Nick shared some ‘sad news’. He said: “After these record-breaking temperatures yesterday, it may well, as you were saying, be even hotter later today, potentially getting up to over 35°C in some parts of England.
“That’s why the heat health alerts are in place. We’ve been hearing about these heat health alerts all week. So if you have a look at the map and the graphic, you’ll see that there are yellow alerts in some areas of England.
“That’s mainly a warning for vulnerable people to take care. Amber alerts as well, more serious warning about the heat and that it may well put extra pressure on health services as well.

“Some sad news this morning regarding the heatwave. A teenage girl has died at a water park in Warwickshire. Kingsbury Water Park Emergency Services were called out last night around about 7 O’clock-ish, but sadly they weren’t able to save the girl.
“The heatwave also has a tendency to cause wildfires in some areas. That seems to have happened in Edinburgh last night around 7 O’clock.
“A fire on Arthur’s Seat at Holyrood Park. Pretty sizable fire, actually, which was sending smoke right across the city, but seems to be under control now.”
It comes as a UK record for the highest daily minimum temperature for May was set overnight as the temperature did not fall below 21.3C overnight at Kenley Airfield, south London, making it a “tropical night”, the Met Office said.
