BRITS will bask in what could be the hottest day of the year so far, with scorching 33C temperatures seeing the UK hotter than Hawaii.
The Met Office has said the mercury in central, southern and eastern England will soar on Monday afternoon amid a heatwave blasting the nation.

And the sweltering weather will dwarf the 29C highs predicted in the tropical paradise of Hawaii.
Parts of the country will also be hotter than some of the world’s top beach destinations such as Jamaica, the Maldives and the Bahamas.
The UK’s record high for 2022 currently stands at 32.7C, recorded at Heathrow on June 17.
Brits have been urged to look out for the most vulnerable this week as a health heat warning has been issued across the country.

Parents have been warned to keep children safe in the scorching sun and stop them undertaking “vigorous physical activity.”
And one children’s hospital has issued advice to wear sun cream and light-coloured clothing and stay in the shade.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: “High pressure is going to dominate tomorrow, with lots of sunshine, particularly in England and Wales.
“In Scotland and Northern Ireland it will be somewhat hazy at times with thick cloud moving in from the north-west, possibly bringing some rain at times.

“But for most of us it will be a dry and sunny day, well into the high 20s from the morning, with central, southern and eastern parts of England to possibly see maximum highs of 33C.
“So it’s very possible tomorrow will be the hottest day of the year so far, it will certainly be on par with the existing record, maybe more.
“It will also be very warm overnight going into Tuesday, remaining in the low 20s in cities, so many may experience an uncomfortable night.”
The heatwave is predicted to continue into the week, with the mercury set to soar above 30C, potentially seeing some of the warmest temperatures of the year.
It comes as people have been warned to expect delays to train journeys this week thanks to the scorching weather.

And Brits have also been urged to ration water with temperatures due to hit glorious highs over this week.
But the hot spell looks set to subside later in the week, when a cold front is expected to start pushing in.
