BRITS are set for a Sunday roast as temperatures are tipped to be even hotter — with some spots baking in 29C.
Sunshine on the first couple days of summer has seen people basking on beaches and breaking out the barbecues as the mercury soars higher than the Mediterranean.

Monday is forecast to be windy with showers in the west and north-west, while dryer and brighter elsewhere.
SATURDAY SCORCHER
Met Office meteorologist Emma Smith said the hot weather is the result of the jet stream moving north and high pressure and heat coming from the continent in the south.
She said on Saturday: “For this time of the year it should be 19 or 20C in London and in East Anglia it should be 18 or 19C, where we could see the hottest temperatures tomorrow.
“The last time we had 28C was August last year. It’s hot for the time of year.”

John Hill from Coral, said: “This weekend looks set to bring the hottest day of the year so far with the odds indicating temperatures could reach into the low 30s.
“We have seen a flurry of bets for next month being the hottest June on record, while we continue to be knocked over with a gamble on this summer being the hottest ever in the UK.”
