m. A second group of 83 people, including 15 women and 7 children, arrived aboard the Border Force vessel Ranger. A third group reached shore later in the day aboard the vessel Defender. Today's total raised the cumulative arrivals since Friday to 903.

GB News stated that authorities expect continued crossings while temperatures remain elevated.

Weather conditions Temperatures reached 30.5C in Frittenden, Kent, on Saturday.

The UK Health Security Agency issued amber heat-health alerts for parts of England, and forecasters projected a possible high of 33C in southeast England on Monday. The Met Office forecast indicated Dover could see 29C on Tuesday before readings ease later in the week.

A maritime source quoted by the People's Channel described launches occurring along nearly 100 miles of coastline from Belgium to Treport to avoid concentrated patrols near Dunkirk and Calais.
