Much of England and Wales is basking in sizzling temperatures as hot air from the Continent makes Britain hotter than Rio De Janeiro, Ibiza and Lanzarote.
The Met Office said temperatures hit a sweltering 29.3C (84.7C) at Heathrow in London by 2pm today – making it the hottest day of the year so far.
However, that figure is set to be smashed tomorrow with forecasters predicting the mercury will reach 35C (95F) widely across the south of England.
The heatwave has prompted officials to issue a level 2 health warning, amid fears the scorching heat could cause 'hundreds of deaths'.
People with respiratory illnesses, the elderly and very young are all being warned to stay out of the midday sun, while hayfever sufferers are also being warned to take extra preventative measures as the pollen count and UV levels are currently extremely high.
