BRITS are set to enjoy scorching 24C weather on Friday with temperatures predicted to hit 35C in a mid-July heatwave.
Temperatures are forecasted to reach 24C later in the week in parts of the South such as London and Peterborough.
Brits have already been spotted at the beach enjoying beautiful sunny weather this morning.
But the cloud is expected to break up for the South throughout the day and will remain cloudy in the northwest.
Much of the UK is likely to experience some late night rain, although there will be clear spells across the south and southeast of the UK.
According to The Met Office, the best of the sunshine will be in the southeast, but things are looking to get even better as the days progress.

Brits took the opportunity to bask in the sunshine, and headed to their local beaches.
And forecasters suggested temperatures are expected to keep climbing to very warm conditions by the final third of July.
The following Monday, July 11, will welcome highs of 28C in the southeast, with London painted an angry red on charts, as are Southampton, Oxford and Cambridge.
And a 35C heatwave could well be on the cards in a few weeks, just in time for the school holidays.
Martin Bowles, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Looking at the second half of July, around the start of the school holidays, it does look as if the most likely weather across the UK is settled and warm. There are good signals for dry, sunny and warm weather.
"The general outlook is for it to be high 20s with a chance of it reaching 30 in one or two spots."
Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said he wouldn’t be surprised if we got 35C, but the Met Office reckons the weather will be 30C.
Brian told The Sun: “At the moment long-range computer models are suggesting an increased likelihood of very warm conditions during the last third in July.
“Temperatures in the UK reached 32.7C earlier this month and typically the hottest weather of the summer comes in July or August.
"I wouldn't be surprised if temperatures climbed to 35C (91F). To put a little context on that, the hottest day in the entire decade of the 1980s was 34.4C.”
