THE UK could see record-breaking temperatures this week – just as people enjoy the relaxation of lockdown restrictions.
Parts of south east England could see the mercury rise up to 24c tomorrow, but how hot will it get in Brighton and Hove?
Unfortunately for potential seaside sun-seekers, while temperatures elsewhere in the country look set to rival destinations like Ibiza, the city will remain substantially cooler.
According to the Met Office, temperatures will hit highs of about 11c today with the clouds disappearing at about 4pm, making way for a cool but sunny evening.

The rest of the week will see the mercury slowly fall, reaching highs of 16c on Wednesday, 15c on Thursday, and 11c on Friday.
According to the weather forecast, Saturday and Sunday will see highs of 10c and 11c respectively.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst told Sky News: "Into next week, large swathes of southern England and Wales will be dry with warmer temperatures than expected for this time of year, the average for March being 11C (51.8F) to 12C (53F).
"The mercury could reach a high of around 18C (64.4F) on Monday, with Tuesday seeing highs of 24C (75.2F).
"Much of the UK will remain dry and bright until Wednesday, while parts of Scotland will see some heavy showers."
