Sunseekers are set to flock to beaches, parks and beauty spots today, as temperatures are expected to soar to 30C in the midst of Britain’s mini-heatwave.

The sizzling conditions mean families up and down the country will be scrambling to find a spot on the beach, soaking up the rays and queuing up for the ice cream van.  

Temperatures are expected to reach 30C in the south-east — particularly  London and the home counties— which will continue into next week. 

It comes after a disappointing start to July, where the wet and chilly start has barely materialised into the Great British summer many had pinned their hopes on.  

David Hayter, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office said: ‘As we go through the weekend, the jet stream will weaken to the west of the UK generating an area of high pressure that will slowly move in across the UK. 

‘High pressure means the air is sinking from higher in the atmosphere and that brings drier, settled and sunnier weather.

‘Temperatures will rise too, becoming widely above average. We could see maxima of 27°C in the south and 25°C in the northeast by Sunday. 

‘There’s a bit more in the way of patchy cloud in Northern Ireland, south and west Scotland and the northern isles, so temperatures will be lower there.’

Yesterday, Her Majesty Queen Camilla was spotted at Ascot Racecourse, wearing a hat and summer dress.

Hundreds of people packed out Weymouth Beach as they enjoyed family BBQs, a swim in the sea and rides at the funfair. 

The good weather will continue into next week, with the Met Office predicting highs of 29C on Monday.

The hotter spells are thanks to an Iberian plume which is pushing a warm weather front from Europe, where temperatures have been as high as 40C this summer.

The south-eastern areas of the country will experience the hottest weather, but most regions are expected to reap the benefits of the high pressure front.

Looking ahead, Britons can expect a much drier August with the Met Office predicting a ‘warmer than average’ period from August 7 to August 21.

London and the surrounding areas could see temperatures as high as 31C (89) on August 8.
