It's boiling hot outside - and many of us are striving to get an even tan while the sun shines.
As temperatures soar, many Brits will be tempted to indulge in some naked sunbathing in their own back garden.
Given the current weather, we can see why - it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the glorious weather in your own private space.
But while it may seem a good idea, there are a few things you can do, to ensure you don't face any trouble.
The big question: Is it illegal to sunbathe in your garden?
The good news is that the law states it's not an offence to strip off in public, but naturally there are caveats attached to this.

It can become an offence if being naked causes distress or alarm to others.
The Crown Prosecution Service says: “In the case of naturism a balance needs to be struck between the naturist's right to freedom of expression and the right of the wider public to be protected from harassment, alarm and distress.”
Advice if you fancy sunbathing naked
The advice from the police is to let your neighbours know if you plan to sunbathe topless in your back garden to avoid any awkward situations.
Surrey Police previously shared a post about the issue after a row between neighbours in Reigate.
The post read: “If you want to wander around your garden naked and you are overlooked by neighbours then you have to be careful - an Englishman's home is not quite his castle and your garden is not exempt from the law.
“In an ideal world, your relationship with your neighbours would be such that they would not object to you gardening in the buff and they would never dream of calling the police.
“In the real world, however, you would be well advised to take some simple precautions,” it added.
The police suggested sunbathing in one part of the garden that's screened from view.
"You will have to decide whether your desire to be naked in your garden is more important to you than being on friendly terms with those around you," it said.
"No-one has the right to spy on you and if you find that your neighbour is leaning out of an upstairs window or standing on the top of a step ladder in order to see you then he or she may well be committing an offence."
Following the statement, they said it was actually incorrect and - in fact - it's ok as long as you aren't causing distress to others.
The law is clear in that an offence is only possible if the naked person had the intention to cause alarm or distress.
The Met Office has said the UK heatwave will continue through to the weekend.
British Naturism said: "There is no law against being naked in public, and so stripping off and enjoying the sun on your skin in your own garden cannot lead to arrest nor can your neighbours make you cover-up.
"Being neighbourly might mean you tell your neighbours that you plan to sunbathe naked but there is no obligation to do so, so don’t hesitate.
"Studies have shown that spending time naked is good for you and so we encourage everyone to take advantage of the wonderful weather and celebrate their uniqueness."
It's up to you, but it may be best to play it safe if your garden is overlooked by other properties and you're unsure of where your neighbours stand on nudity.
