Temperatures are continuing to soar in parts of England, with the heat on course to potentially hit 34C or 35C in the south.
Tuesday could officially become the hottest day of the year so far, topping the 33.2C recorded in Surrey 10 days ago.
The Midlands will also see above-average temperatures – but there is a stark contrast in conditions for the rest of the UK, where it is forecast to stay cool and cloudy.
It comes as high temperatures continue across Europe, with France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and the Balkans all experiencing scorching heat in recent days.
