Brits roasted in the hottest day of the year so far on Sunday with 28°C temperatures beating yesterday’s record.
Weybourne in north Norfolk reached 28.8°C, closely followed by nearby Cromer, where the mercury rose to 28.3°C.
Santon Downham in Suffolk came in at third place with highs of 28.1°C.
Today knocked out the record for the year so far set at Heathrow on Saturday, when temperatures rose to 27.6°C.
Met Office meteorologist Emma Smith said on Saturday: ‘For this time of the year it should be 19°C or 20°C in London and in East Anglia it should be 18°C or 19°C, where we could see the hottest temperatures tomorrow.
‘The last time we had 28°C was August last year. It’s hot for the time of year.’
The blazing sunshine did not last, however, with clouds already closing in across the south-east and rain on the way.
Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said: ‘There are much fresher conditions moving in from the west now and things will be cooler for tomorrow.
‘We will see a mixture of sunshine and showers with most of the showers towards the north and west – it will be mostly dry throughout the south-east.
‘The top temperatures tomorrow will be around 21°C.’
Despite the toasty weather, a few people were surprised to see a light dusting of ‘snow’ on the ground.

Willow tree seeds fell so thickly in some areas it looked like thousands of children had blown a dandelion clock at the same time.
Jane Street, of south-west London, tweeted: ‘Lovely cycle today on the little Brompton – the park was covered in white fluff from the trees – it looked like summer snow!’
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) also reminded dog owners to make sure their pets had plenty of water and fresh air.
Dogs, particularly flat-faced breeds such as pugs and bulldogs, are vulnerable to heatstroke.
