High pressure building across the UK could lead to temperatures of 35C (95F) - and the heatwave is expected to peak on Friday or Saturday.
Neil Fenwick, area manager for Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, said:"While summer weather usually provides the perfect opportunity to host a barbecue or gather around a chiminea in the evening, we're strongly discouraging people from having any kinds of fires at the moment."
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said:"It does look like a prolonged period of dry weather and obviously that's bad news for southern England where some rain would really be useful now." Mr Morgan says heatwave criteria are likely to be met across the UK - potentially putting strain on the NHS as the most vulnerable suffer heat-related problems.
