Sun lovers are basking in the heat this weekend with temperatures set to soar to 30°C on Sunday. And it's looking like it could be even hotter for the ahead with a blistering 37°C predicted on Monday and Tuesday.
There are those who relish topping up their tan on a sun lounger at home, lazing about in the park or having a cold pint in a pub beer garden. But not everyone enjoys the sweltering temperatures and some of us can't wait for the heatwave to be over.
We'll do anything for a brief respite from the unbearable heat.... even lingering perhaps a little bit longer than is acceptable in the chiller aisles at the supermarket. It's amazing how fascinating it is to browse at tubs of margarine if it means keeping cool.
