Monday will see rain lessen in northern England with the downpours set to stay in north-west Scotland, while England and Wales will see the mercury soar to 81F (27C). 

It comes after the country was battered with heavy downpours Friday and Saturday which saw the school summer holidays get off to a soggy start. 

Continuing into the week, revellers will enjoy temperatures of up to 95F, but it will feel much hotter due to the humidity, Helen Roberts, Met Office forecaster told MailOnline.

'In the south east on Wednesday and Thursday will see temperatures in the mid 30s (86-95F), with it being particularly warm in East Anglia and the south east corner' of the England' she said.

'Tuesday night into Wednesday will be particularly warm, with temperatures in the 20s (68 - 84F), which we'll be offering an advisory note for' she told MailOnline.  

The hot weather is forecast to peak next Tuesday and Wednesday, which could set a new record for the UK's hottest day of the year so far – beating the 93F (34C) recorded in west London on June 29. 

Temperatures will steadily rise throughout the week, from 84F (29C) on Monday, 91F (33C) on Tuesday, and then expected to reach heights of 95F (35C) on Wednesday, according to The Weather Outlook.

As such, the UK is set to be hotter than Barbados - which will peak at 88F (31C) - with even the north set to reach 86F (30C).   

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Harris said: 'As we head into next week we are expecting some parts of the country to see some very warm weather, which could reach heatwave thresholds. However, in the cloudier, windier and wetter parts of the North West temperatures will be nearer normal despite high humidity.' 

Following speculation about a 'continental heat dome', Mr Harris added: 'A high-pressure system will develop over the near continent, bringing warm continental air into the south and east of the UK.'   

Sophie Yeomans, Meteorological Office spokeswoman, said: 'From Sunday, we are due to have drier and brighter conditions particularly in southern England and extending into Wales.

'We are expecting some fairly hot temperatures over the coming days, which are due to build from around 25C on Sunday (77F) to 34C (93F) by Wednesday.

'The change is due to warm air flowing north from Europe, where it is due to bring temperatures in the 40s Celsius (100s Fahrenheit) in Spain and 30C (90F) in parts of France.'

Professional photographer Chris Taylor, 47, managed to capture the beautiful images showing the horses along the seafront with a golden backdrop behind them.

The riders and their mounts headed to deserted Holkham Beach in Norfolk to celebrate as Major Richard Chambers retires from the regiment after 31 years.

The Household Cavalry are world-famous for their presence at high-profile events like royal weddings, presidential visits and Queen's birthday celebrations.

Chris, from Sheringham, Norfolk said: 'This is the first time they have ever ridden there at sunset.

'It was a special ride with seven of their horses and riders.

'Major Richard Chambers has been doing the Holkham rides since the very first one.

'It was stunning, they had a ride out on the beach and we got really lucky with the weather.

'It all worked out really well.

'I wish Major Chambers all the best.'

The rides are a chance for the Life Guards and Blues and Royals soldiers to strengthen the bonds with their horses and improve their balance by walking in the sea.

The regiments are among the army's most senior, and they have been coming to Norfolk for more than 30 years.

With roots dating back to 1660, the formations are part of the Queen's official bodyguard, and are normally based at Windor and at the Hyde Park Barracks in London.
