The UK could see the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures predicted to reach 87F this Sunday in parts of the UK - making it warmer than Ibiza.
Despite 'biblical' flash floods and torrential downpours in London and other areas earlier this week, the weather is set to improve with high pressure resulting in fine and dry weather for most parts of the country.
While Ibiza is predicted to peak at 84F on Sunday, the Met Office has predicted that parts of the UK could see temperatures of 87F, which would make it the hottest day of the year so far.
The current record holder is June 14 which saw temperatures of 83F in Heathrow, west London, last month.
With temperatures already warming up today, meteorologist Alex Deakin, from the Met Office said Brits can expect sunny skies and rising temperatures across much of the UK for the rest of the week and through to the weekend.
He said: 'For most places its dry, its fine with lengthy spells of sunshine and temperatures climbing a little warmer than yesterday.
'Overnight, it will cloud over a little bit over northern islands, north and west Wales and north west England but otherwise a largely dry night with lengthy clear spells and it will be quite a warm night.
