After the six-week summer holidays were marred by heavy clouds and disappointing temperatures, the mercury is set to rocket in the coming days to a sweltering 86F (30C).
The mini-heatwave will last until at least Wednesday prompting a dash to the seaside for people who have waited until the schools return before taking a staycation.
Yesterday saw millions taking advantage of the sunshine, with beaches packed and youngsters taking the last chance to build sandcastles. Day-trippers took to the water, while some actually got wet.
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo even posted a picture on Instagram asking: “Who says Man chester has no sun?”
But the blast of barbecue weather will come to an abrupt halt with thunderstorms likely for the latter part of the week.
