Families are soaking up the heatwave at UK beaches on the last day before children return to schools as temperatures are set to hit 29C today.
After a rather dismal summer, the start of autumn is bringing brighter days, with mercury forecast to hit highs of 32C by the middle of the week.

The Met Office says a jet stream, which has been bringing mostly unsettled spells of weather to the United Kingdom, is continuing to move north, allowing higher pressure to build widely across the UK.
It also explains a second explanation for the heatwave. The former tropical cyclone Franklin continuing to move into the North Atlantic, amplifying the build-up of high pressure.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Butler, said that fine and settled conditions would develop and that along with this we would see a rise in temperature across most parts of the United Kingdom next week.
He added that many places could expect to see maximum temperatures rise to 25C or above for several days, which would bring some locations into the realm of heatwave conditions. Although the highest temperatures were likely to be in the south and east of England. These areas also have higher temperature thresholds for heatwave conditions to be declared.
He said, so, while some areas may just miss out on the actual definition, regardless of thresholds, many areas would enjoy a fine period of weather with plenty of sunshine and temperatures were likely to be the highest for many since June or early July.
Met Office senior operational meteorologist Amy Bokota added that most places were going to see wall-to-wall sunshine by the middle of the week, which is something we hadn’t seen for much of the summer.
She said that it’s going to feel warmer than we would expect for the start of autumn, particularly in London and the South East, where the heatwave threshold could be met, but that it would also feel humid and muggy in some areas, with temperatures in parts of the country staying above 20C (68F) overnight, making for uncomfortable sleeping conditions.
Warm and sunny weather spread across the country over the weekend with beachgoers herding to beach spots from Bournemouth in the south of England to resorts in the north.
But really, we need weeks of this good weather to make up for the tragic summer we’ve had, and who would really want to go to the beach when our Government has allowed companies to dump all their waste into our waters?
Oh my God, the sun is out, let’s all panic, and don’t forget to put sun tan lotion on. It’s sunshine and believe me it won’t last that long, but it’s lovely while it’s here, and of course, it’s the hottest on record. They have to say that because they have to keep up with the climate narrative, don’t they? And just think that in three months’ time, it will be December. Although it would be lovely if we had a nice warm Christmas, now that would be something to talk about where climate change is concerned.
Next, they’ll be telling us it’s all to do with climate change and that we’re doomed, what utter rubbish. The ecosystem is supposed to change like it’s done for thousands of years, and it seems that any weather is proof to the climate nuts.
A coalition of more than 1,600 scientists critical of their peers’ hyperbolic assertions about climate change drew a prominent recruit to sign their 2019 declaration that the climate emergency was a myth.
John Clauser, who won the Nobel Prize in physics, became the second Nobel laureate to sign the document with 1,607 other scientists condemning the idea of a climate crisis.
But I’m guessing that the main agenda for this week will be global warming.
