Temperatures showed that parts of the UK will be bathed in 30-degree heat throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday.

When will things change?
However, things will change at the end of the week.
While temperatures are set to stay high in many parts of the country, clouds will start to appear by Thursday.
And on Friday, temperatures will dip slightly and rain will enter the equation.
It says about the end of the week: “Fine and dry for most, just the odd isolated afternoon shower.
“Very warm, locally hot, although northeast coasts will be cooler. More widespread showers will reach the southwest on Friday.”
Where did the heatwave come from?
The July heatwave comes amid warnings of Brits to take care in the sun.
Over the weekend, people flocked to beaches and parks as the sun beat down.
