Carol Kirkwood expressed her concerns in a series of tweets about the "unprecedented" conditions.Scenes on the news saw forest fires raging through France and trains catching fire in front of terrified commuters' eyes in Spain today - but Carol has made it clear that the havoc is not limited solely to Europe. "In all my years presenting the weather I have never before mentioned a temperature of 40 Celsius anywhere in the UK," the 60-year-old exclaimed."This is unprecedented heat @BBCBreakfast xxx" she added to her over 237,000 Twitter followers.Carol's tweet was just one of several addressing the extreme temperatures as they ripped through the UK today."Tomorrow could be even hotter than today," she warned ominously."The highest temperatures are likely in the East Midlands, East Anglia, and eastern England."We could see temperatures in excess of 40 Celsius @BBCBreakfast xxx."Meanwhile she told Britain to exercise caution overnight as the heat was expected to soar."Tonight temperatures for some may not fall away lower than 20°.This too could have some health implications," she explained.Carol added that the intense heat was unlikely to fall away until Wednesday.On Twitter, @jw47714 played down her concerns, challenging: "What about the summer of 1976? Didn't get any worrying news or advice then. Just got on with the normal."However @andyoakes countered: "We had a minister of drought, we had widespread crop failures and 20% excess deaths.

'Never talk about him' Why BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood keeps fiancé's identity hidden
Carol Kirkwood has explained why she likes to keep her fiancé's identity hidden in a resurfaced interview.The BBC Breakfast star candidly discussed her “secret boyfriend” last year, before the pair became engaged back in May. Carol, 60, has never publicly named her long-term partner, choosing to keep his name a secret.Last year, while she was promoting her debut romantic novel titled Under A Greek Moon, she spoke about her now-fiancé.“He’s only a secret boyfriend because I never talk about him,” she began.“I always feel that through my job, I put myself in the public eye and am very happy, but my partner and my family and my friends haven’t, so I’m hugely respectful of their privacy.“I just don’t talk about them, other than to say that my partner is drop-dead gorgeous, he’s funny, he makes me very happy.“He gets up at quarter to three in the morning to make me a cup of tea before going to work – if that’s not romantic, I don’t know what is,” she told PA News Agency. Back in May, Carol shared the exciting news of her engagement in front of her BBC audience.She opted for a dramatic reveal live on air and was congratulated by BBC Breakfast colleagues Sally Nugent and Jon Kay as she flashed her ring. The weather presenter broke the news as she reported from the Chelsea Flower Show. She told viewers she had been proposed to while on holiday, with co-star Sally helping her to deliver the announcement. Sally told Carol at the time: “I’m a little bit concerned about you this morning. “I don’t know how you’re managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand, Carol.”Carol grinned as she looked down at her hand, before replying: “Oh that one, thank you Sal. “It is rather nice, I got engaged.”Sally then responded:

'Oops!' Naga Munchetty issues personal apology as BBC Breakfast mishap sparks 'panic'
Naga Munchetty, 47, alarmed viewers when she suggested that July 1 wasn't actually Friday, the gateway to the weekend, after all, but fell a day earlier than they'd thought. One anxious fan, @eel0110, took to Twitter to redress the balance, exclaiming: "Naga! Don’t do that to us, THURSDAY 1 July?!"She continued: "What a panic in our house there was still 2 days before the weekend…"The BBC 5 Live and BBC Breakfast presenter replied in front of her 278,500 followers: "Oops sorry! X"Naga's slip up on air led some to worry that the last day of their working week would be a day later than they had imagined.It isn't the first time that the presenter has sparked confusion, either.During her coverage of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations last month, Naga bucked the trend for wearing the colours of the British flag.Instead, she donned blue and yellow, leaving puzzled viewers scratching their heads trying to understand her reasoning.Some speculated that she may have been showing support for war-torn Ukraine, by donning the colours of their national flag.However some followers argued that the move was "anti-British" and not in the spirit of the celebrations."Was the flag mocking @TVNaga01 wearing EU colours to our Queens jubilee celebrations today?" @SilentM85649515 quizzed."Why is this Union flag hating woman even there? The Queen deserves better."The tweeter added her view that the bright yellow scarf Naga was wearing seemed inappropriate for the warm June weather.@Richard49058624 answered: "God I hate that woman with a passion @DefundBBC."Naga then waded into the debate by offering an amused personal reply."Ooh.

BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty, 47, had been in conversation with fellow presenter Jo Whiley about the music festival Glastonbury, which kicks off today, when she made the blunder.She referred to other BBC reporters as "rivals" before swiftly changing gears and substituting the word with "colleagues"."Who else do you want but Jo Whiley there presenting for the BBC?" she began during an interview from the festival published on BBC Sounds."I was talking with our rivals," she told Jo, before hastily adding: "Not rivals - our colleagues, I should say!"Jo, 56, responded: "I'm glad I'm talking to you as well then!"The pair then went into a conversation about Glastonbury, which Naga revealed that she had never attended before.Her admission followed comments from comic Lenny Henry querying why the world-famous festival did not attract large numbers of ethnic minorities.Jo assured her that it was "the most extraordinary experience" which would hold "appeal for all ages".She told of how her mother had camped out with her several years earlier and was now nagging her for a repeat experience as she was "desperate" to go again.Jo said she had also seen off her children, the youngest of whom is 13, as they headed to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset.Top acts include headliner Paul McCartney, who is expected to wow at the event after having just turned 80 last week.DJ Jo spoke of the strong "female representation" that she was looking forward to her daughters India and Coco being inspired by.She has previously joked that her youngest daughter was conceived thanks to Glastonbury favourite Noel Gallagher."I’d always wanted a fourth child and I kept saying to Steve not to forget that,” she ­told the Mirror previously.“Then I
