A weather map has revealed the spots which will hit 30C heat on Monday as Britain braces itself for a fourth heatwave of the year.

Families across the country are getting ready to head to the beaches and parks to soak in the sun as temperatures look set to soar in many parts of the UK.

Most areas will see the mercury shoot up to the mid to high-20s on Monday, with some spots around London and the South East potentially reaching 31C.

And it's looking like perfect sunbathing weather with a fine Sunday set to be followed by 'strong August sunshine' across England and Wales in the new week, the Met Office said.

The rapidly rising temperatures might have a sting in the tail, however, as searing heat could also lead to isolate thunderstorms developing in the UK.
