The UK has been enjoying scorching weather recently as part of a July heatwave.
Temperatures have soared to sweltering highs across the country - which led the Met Office to issue their first ever extreme heat warning.

The North West is currently predicted to avoid the heavy rain showers - but the Met Office has warned areas across England to brace themselves for rainfall, floods and thunderstorms.
The yellow warning will last from 1pm on Tuesday 20 July up until midnight and is set to affect many regions, including the East Midlands, the East of England, London and the south east of England and the West Midlands.
The forecasters predict floodwater and strong winds should be expected to cause damage to some buildings, while some areas could see 30-60mm of rainfall in just one or two hours.
The weather warning for rainfall is being issued alongside a warning for extreme heat - which the Met Office introduced in conjunction with Public Health England to alert people to the adverse effects of a heatwave.
According to the NHS, side effects of too much exposure to heat can cause a headache, dizziness and confusion, loss of appetite and feeling sick.
