TEMPERATURES across the UK are set to soar to a balmy 31C today, before rocketing up to the mid 30s tomorrow.
The Met Office has released a map of the areas which can expect the warm weather, which has been sweeping in throughout the morning.

After weeks of grey weather and showers, Brits will finally be treated to some more summer-y weather.
Temperatures are expected to be highest in central and southern England, particularly in London.
Some areas will even experience balmy heats of 31C, before the temperature rockets up to the mid-30s.
The high heat has led the Met Office to issue yellow weather warnings across the UK, affecting Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West.
The warning will last for 54 hours, until the heat subsides later in the week.
Tom Crabtree, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “Warmth is the focus in the forecast in the first half of this week, with temperatures likely to peak on Tuesday around the mid-30s, but remaining above average in the second half of the week, particularly further to the southeast.
“The exception to the widely warm conditions will be northwest Scotland on Monday, where showers will be more frequent.
“Warmth will develop there from Tuesday with temperatures peaking in the mid to high 20s.”
With this high pressure in the south, though, comes the risk of thunderstorms.
The wet weather is expected to arrive this evening, possibly lasting into tomorrow, before temperatures rocket up once again.
Speaking about the thunderstorms, Tom said. “Outbreaks of rain, some of which could be thundery, are possible in southern and western areas for a time on Monday evening spreading north and east through the night, though this will be fairly hit-and-miss and for many the weather will be a dry and warm day.
“While there’s a fair degree of uncertainty at this range, the main signal for more frequent thundery showers arrives from the south late on Wednesday and into Thursday.
“The risk of showers spreads north and west on Thursday, potentially bringing some fairly wet weather to Scotland, northwest England and parts of Wales through the day.”
The news comes after thousands of Brits flocked to beaches yesterday, after Storm Floris.
The storm had brought brutal 80mph winds with it, cutting power for tens of thousands of homes across the country.
As emergency services battled to reduce the damage caused by Storm Floris, the Met Office warned that the thunderstorm was beginning to “rapidly deepen” over the Atlantic – plunging much of the country into an amber weather warning.
After the storm finally subsided, Brits have been spotted at beaches across the country – including in Brighton, Southend and Lyme Regis.
