Today is the hottest day the UK has seen in nine years as temperatures rose to 34.5C.
The record-smashing temperature, taken in Northolt, west London, comes as the heat bested the 2013 temperature of 34.1 C, which was recorded at Heathrow in August.
We'll see if the UK can smash the 36.5C record held since August 2006 - or even the hottest ever recording of 38.5C in 2003, which was recorded in Kent.
At 8am this morning, the temperatures in Oxford had already risen past 25C, with the heat expected to peak between the hours of 3pm and 5pm.
Just yesterday, when 123 tennis fans had to be treated by medics at Wimbledon for heat-related health problems.
