The temperature reached 35C at Heathrow in England making July 31 the hottest day of 2020 so far.

After a wet and cold July for some parts of the country, the month is ending with a heat wave. Some parts of the country had temperatures above 30C!

And the hot and sunny weather isn't expected to stick around. Thunderstorms are forecast from Friday night and conditions across the UK will become considerably colder from the weekend and into next week.

A new Met Office report says climate change is having an 'increasing impact' on UK weather, with unseasonal and strange weather seen at unexpected times of the year.
