Hot conditions will not hit the 40.3C reached last month but could last longer, forecasters say.
Last month's record temperatures saw a series of wildfires across the country and Riccardo la Torre, from the Fire Brigades Union, described them as "brutal".
The government said spending for fire services had been increased by around £141m to £1.37bn over the last six years, "demonstrating our commitment to ensuring fire services have the resources they need". He said crews were expecting the busiest time of day to be between 13:00 and 19:00 BST every day and said fire chiefs would aim to maximise on-call firefighters in rural areas to help cope with demand.Sir John Armitt, chair of the National Infrastructure Commission said water companies who have not called for a hosepipe ban "will be keeping it under constant review".
He said there was no doubt climate change was affecting our infrastructure and said water was something we took for granted.The National Farmers Union warned the heatwave was compounding problems already caused by months of dry weather - grass not growing and irrigation water running out are two. Keith Stones, who farms in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, has been struggling to find grass to feed his livestock.
