The UK is set for a baking start to the week as temperatures across the country will surpass those in Jamaica, the Maldives and the Bahamas, though the North East will not quite hit those heights.
According to the Met Office, much of the day in the North East will be 25°C or higher - so it'll be one to spend by the seaside or, if you're at work, as close to a fan or air conditioning as possible. It could be the hottest day of the year for the UK, with temperatures predicted to hit 33°C elsewhere, slightly higher than the record temperature for 2022 so far of 32.7°C at Heathrow, reports WalesOnline.
Temperatures are expected to remain in the mid to high 20s until the end of this week, with a cold front approaching to drive town the mercury. However, until then a heat-health alert has been issued for some parts of the UK, with those in affected areas advised to shade or cover windows and check on the vulnerable and the elderly.
