BRITS are set to soak up the sun as temperatures are due to soar to32C and Saharan dust blows across the UK.
It's time to grab the sun cream as the Met Office forecasts a heatwave coming for many this week – with unseasonably warm Autumn conditions to be felt on Wednesday and Thursday.
Meteorologists predict temperatures will match this year's current record high of 32.2C in June.
Meanwhile, the majority of the UK is still expected to be "unseasonably" hot for the rest of this week.
And, meteorologists have stated Saharan dust is likely to blow across Britain, which could make for some picturesque sunsets and sunrises.
Glorious orange sunrises were seen in West Sussex, Dorset and London this morning, encouraging runners to go for an early jog.

These heatwave conditions come as a tropical cyclone in the North Atlantic has helped move the jet stream across the UK.
This tropical weather could make some nights this week "uncomfortably warm", according to the Met Office.
In the south, it is set to remain in the 20s throughout the night.
However, Brits in the far north and western areas may not feel the heatwave as the Met Office forecasts breezy conditions, intermittent thunderstorms and heavy downpours for some.
It follows recent stormy weather which battered the UK when Brits were on the northern side of the jet stream, bringing cooler air and unsettled conditions.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway said: “High pressure is situated to the southeast of the UK, which is bringing more settled conditions with temperatures on the rise through the first half of this week.
"While the highest temperatures are expected in the south, heatwave conditions are likely across much of England and Wales especially, with parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland also likely to see some unseasonably high temperatures.”
Rachel Ayers, senior meteorologist, said: "On Wednesday, mist and fog will clear once again with low cloud burning back to the coast through the morning, again leaving a very warm or hot day.
"Again some patchy cloud in the far west and Northern Ireland. A chance of showers moving into the south west during the evening, risk of an isolated thunderstorm. Temperatures will climb to 32C in central and south-east England."
Thursday will also see highs of 32C in the southeast but "overnight showers will push north in the west with some outbreaks of rain in the far north west of Scotland," according to the meteorologist.
"On Friday, most places will remain fine and dry with sunny spells. Areas of cloud will limit sunshine in places, with a small chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm, predominantly in the west," she continued.
However Met Office meteorologists are uncertain how long the unseasonably warm weather will last.

“A cold front will begin to influence things from the northwest ahead of the weekend, bringing temperatures down and an increasing chance of rain for those in the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland," Mark Sidaway continued.
“There’s still a large degree of uncertainty on the exact timing of this front, and there’s a chance that those further south in the UK could keep some higher than average temperatures through much of the weekend, perhaps even into the start of next week, though even this will be a step down from the peak that we’ll see in mid-week.”
