Here's BBC Look East's weatherman Dan with the scorchio scores on the doors from yesterday... it's set to get even warmer today.

But will the mercury rise higher today?

Hundreds of people across the country pick up litter dropped by others. Here is England's litter army, in its own words.

We've had technical problems on Local Live this morning - sorry about that.  

The live updates should start appearing again now. They've also returned below this post.

During the mini-heatwave be careful of cooling off in open water.

It can contain a number of hazards, including unseen debris, near freezing temperatures and undercurrents.

Dan Phillips of the East of England Ambulance Service, external warns the cold water can also numb arms and legs, leading to hypothermia.

With temperatures set to hit the 30s with unbroken sunshine, it's no surprise that UV levels today are very high... 

Hayfever sufferers should also be aware that as well as being scorching hot, there's going to be high pollen levels today too across the east of England...

With temperatures set hit the 30s today, the East of England Ambulance Service, external has issued this advice on how to beat the heat and stay safe in the sun:

• Wear loose, cool clothing, and a hat and sunglasses if you go outdoors
• Avoid the sun between 11:00 and 15:00 if you're vulnerable to the heat
• Drink cool drinks regularly, such as water, and avoid excess caffeine and alcohol
• Stay in touch with friends, neighbours and relatives who may be less able to look after themselves

The service saw a surge in 999 calls at the weekend, with an average of 3,370 daily calls between 15 and 17 July, compared to 3,075 in their busiest period of Easter.

Staying dry across the region tonight with largely clear skies and light winds – temperatures only slowly falling away to 13C (55F) at the very lowest.

Tuesday will be dry with almost unbroken strong sunshine. It will feel hot and humid with temperatures up to 33C (91F).    

The 11th Latitude Festival has come to a close.

The NHS mental health trust for Norfolk and Suffolk, placed in special measures by a care watchdog, has announced plans to cut 90 posts.

The Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust wants to cut its deficit from £8.9m in 2015-16 to £6.1m in 2016-17.

The trust says in its report it hopes most posts can be cut through "non-essential" vacant posts being left unfilled. But union Unison said it would have a "dramatic impact on services".  

A cafe owner says she will speak to children having a tantrum if "parents are too scared to discipline their children".

Rail passengers between Norwich and London are being advised to check before they travel ahead of improvement work this autumn and winter to deliver vital railway upgrades for the Crossrail programme and remove long-standing heat-related speed restrictions.

The work will affect Abellio Greater Anglia trains into Liverpool Street on eight weekends from Saturday 17 September to Sunday 6 November, and will continue for a further 10 days over the Christmas and New Year period.

The work programme includes the remodelling of a key junction at Shenfield to help deliver more reliable journeys for passengers by May 2017.  

More overhead wires will be replaced between Shenfield and Liverpool Street to help reduce the impact of heat-related disruption during the summer when overhead wires sag and speed restrictions are imposed.

Network Rail spokesman Richard Schofield said: "We understand the inconvenience and disruption that closing the railway causes but the initial and longer-term benefits for passengers are huge." 

That's it from the news team here in Suffolk and our live coverage for the day, which has included a guilty verdict on optometrist Honey Rose, who failed to spot an eye condition in eight-year-old Vinnie Barker, who later died.

We'll leave you, though, with this lovely picture of youngsters at Latitude.

If the adults are having half as much fun, then I reckon Henham Park's the best place to be this weekend.

The final act appearing on the Lake Stage at Latitude, after being chosen by BBC Introducing in Suffolk, is Boxford singer-songwriter Chris Athorne, performing as Oktoba, at 12:15 on Sunday.

He said: "I've got some nice festival tunes and hopefully the crowd will like them."

We've already flagged up swimming and drinking cold drinks as possible ways for keeping cool at Latitude.

But another option would be to go for a punting trip, and dangling your fingers over the edge.

The cost? "Pay what you want" in the tips hat.

For obvious reasons we can't film people actually swimming in the lake, but once Til Pendered and Nancy Booth, who come from Halesworth, got out and dressed, they told me what it was like:

Rather cloudy with an odd spot of rain at first this evening, but much of the night will be dry. 

Feeling very humid and muggy with temperatures only falling to 15C (59F).

Saturday will be cloudy but with some hazy sunshine at times, and while much of the day will be dry there is the chance of a few showery outbreaks. 

Feeling warm and very humid with temperatures reaching highs of 25C (77F).

So, our host Derek here at the Latitude Festival, external is on an entertainingly lengthy set of anecdotes as a 70s weather man, slipping in Shakespeare quotes, with the audience ticking them off on their bingo sheets.

It's actually very funny!

The company for which optometrist Honey Rose was working as a locum has offered its condolences after the guilty verdict at Ipswich Crown Court today.

Rose had been working for a branch of Boots in Ipswich. 

Today Ben Fletcher, managing director of Boots Opticians, said: “We offer our deepest condolences to Vincent Barker’s family. Our thoughts throughout this difficult period remain with the family following these tragic events.”

Chris Athorne, aka Oktoba, popped backstage earlier to record a set to be aired on tomorrow's BBC Introducing in Suffolk special.

We'll be broadcasting live from Henham Park from 12:00 to 15:00.
