The UK could be facing its first heatwave of 2025 this week, as temperatures are rising across parts of the country.

Most areas have started the week with pretty warm weather, with temperatures increasing as the week goes on.

Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England with temperatures set to climb as high as 33C by the weekend.

A yellow alert is the lowest behind amber and red on the UK Health Security Agency's (UKHSA) system, but warns people about possible effects from the heat.

So, with temperatures high, it can mean your classrooms can get pretty hot... we want to know how hot is YOUR classroom and what you're doing to stay cool in school?

A heatwave is when there is a period of unusually hot weather.

For a heatwave to be officially declared by the Met Office - that's the people who monitor the weather in the UK - temperatures need to reach a certain level for at least three days running.

That temperature level varies in different parts of the UK, in the north and west of the UK it's 25C, whereas in parts of eastern England it is 28C.

It has been hotter than those temperatures recently, but not for enough days to qualify as a heatwave - but experts think that's likely to change in the coming week.

Many parts of the UK will see temperatures range between 25C and 30C, with some areas potentially reaching up to 33C, for example in London.

Keeping safe in hot weather is extremely important.

Wearing sunscreen helps protect our skin from the sun's rays, and it's important to apply it regularly when the weather is hotter than usual.

If you're at school when the weather is hot, you can try to keep yourself cool with fewer layers when you're indoors.

It's also important to drink lots of water, and you can ask your teacher to keep windows open too.

It's a good idea to stay out of the direct sun during its peak intensity, which is usually between about 12 and 3 pm.

You can find a nice shady area, or stay indoors if your school allows it.

So, are you feeling the heat in your classroom?

Is your school doing anything special to help in the hot weather?
