Gossip: Britain Sun worshipers celebrates.

Sun worshippers were rejoicing today after it was revealed the hot weather Britain has been enjoying over the past few days could last into the weekend.

Temperatures will temporarily dip tomorrow and on Thursday to the low 20s, before soaring again on Friday - possibly holding up through until Sunday.

London was expected to see the best of the sweltering temperatures across the UK today, while the north of England will also climb to around 28C.

This means the top half of the country will finally enjoy the same highs as the south after averaging around 24C over the last few days.

The weekend of glorious weather continued as people returned to work yesterday, with a high of 29.6C recorded in Lee-On-Solent in Hampshire.

This was just shy of the 29.7C reached in Bournemouth on Sunday, which marked the hottest day of the year so far.
