Here's all you need to know about the upcoming heatwave.

Best days for the beach

It's going to be boiling every day until the end of the week with temperatures above 25C in at least some part of the country every day until Monday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday look set to see temperatures reach 28C or 29C and could be the best days for the beach if you're looking for sweltering heat.

But Wednesday and Sunday will be about 27C and far above normal so still very much good enough for a trip to the seaside.
