Very high levels of pollen and UV mean those with hay fever are in for a difficult time.
BBC Weather presenter Matt Taylor said: “Near perfect summer weather is here to stay throughout this week for many.
“Some parts of the UK could also see their warmest June conditions in decades, others one of their driest Junes on record.”

BBC Weather presenter Tomasz Schafernaker said: “The hot weather will last all week long.
“Today has been the hottest day of the year, but we can’t confirm if 30 C has been broken yet.”
It has become a bit of a British tradition to tweet a picture of your pet in hot weather.
