While the hot spell is not set to reach the record-breaking temperatures the country has faced recently, beachgoers are still making the most of the warmth.
The Met Office said the heatwave – an extended period of hot weather relative to expected conditions – will bring highs of 34C later into next week.
Punters have been seen to make the most of this glorious sunshine, heading to the coasts across the country.
Many are laying out under the blue skies, getting some heat following a period of cooler weather.

Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell said: “We have got a heatwave on the way across parts of southern England and Wales, temperatures are already quite high across the South East today, we could get 28C in London.
“The peak of the heat appears to be Thursday or Friday, 34C in the South East.
“By comparison to the heatwave we saw in June, this heatwave won’t be as hot and humid, but it will be a prolonged spell of hot weather which lasts around a week.”
A yellow heat health alert warning was also issued earlier this week for parts of southern and eastern England and the East Midlands.
This alert covers from yesterday until 8pm next Saturday and has now been extended to the West Midlands.
The UKHSA’s yellow alert comes after a sweltering heatwave last week, during which the Met Office issued a rare red warning for extreme heat.
Parts of the country are also facing yet another hosepipe ban.
South East Water announced a ban for Kent starting Friday July 3.
Southern Water has also confirmed a new hosepipe ban for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from Friday July 10.
Anyone found breaching the official ban can be fined up to £1000.
Southern Water says on its website that “the warmest spring on record, followed by a record-breaking heatwave, has left river levels 25% lower than expected for this time of year”.
Provisional figures from the Met Office show that June was England’s warmest on record for average mean temperature.
Helping to break records during the month’s heatwave were the exceptionally warm “tropical nights” helping to drive the highest average June minimum temperatures on record.
England recorded a mean temperature last month of 17.1C, according to the provisional figures, beating the previous record set in 2025 and nearly 3C above the long-term average, the Met Office said.
