A UK record has been broken for the number of consecutive September days reaching 30C (86F).
A 30.2C reading in Northolt, west London, on Thursday means the mercury has reached at least 30C four days in a row.
The previous September record was three days - in 1898, 1906, 1911 and 2016.
The Met Office said that Thursday could also be the hottest day of the year so far, with a provisional 32.6C recording in Wisley in Surrey.
If confirmed, it will surpass 32.2C registered on two days in June in Chertsey, Surrey, and Coningsby, Lincolnshire.
