Whilst the highest temperatures can be found in England - where area such as London and Birmingham are sweltering in temperatures of more than 30 degrees - Scotland is also being hit with uncharacteristically high temperatures.

However, from tomorrow temperatures will spike dramatically to around 27 degrees on Monday and up to 28 degrees on Tuesday. Part of the Strathclyde region, including South Lanarkshire currently has an amber weather warning in place amidst the rising temperatures.
The weather will be largely clear and sunny on Monday, but the Met Office is predicting showers by Tuesday afternoon which should lead to a break in the hot weather.
Forecasters predict: "Dry through Monday and much of Tuesday with hot or, especially Tuesday, very hot sunshine. Heavy thundery rain or showers expected to spread east overnight leaving Wednesday cooler and unsettled."
Meanwhile, the amber weather warning for extreme heat reads: "A hot spell is likely to develop from Sunday, likely peaking early next week, leading to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure."
It continues: "Some exceptionally high temperatures are possible, both by day and by night, for Monday and Tuesday. This following a warm weekend, will likely bring widespread impacts to people and infrastructure."
