Brits packed the UK's beaches again today (August 9th) as the heatwave continued across the country.

Despite the risks posed by the coronavirus, thousands of people can be seen in this footage crowding Weymouth beach in Dorset.

The mercury looks set to reach as high as 35C on Sunday – according to Met Office forecaster Craig Snell.

Crowds are seen here enjoying the weather on Weymouth beach in Dorset.

Snell said: “There is some contrast. For some of us the heatwave will continue on Sunday and beyond.”
It comes after Friday saw the hottest August day in 17 years, with the mercury hitting 36.4C at Heathrow and Kew Gardens.
Saturday’s top temperature was 34.5C – which was recorded at Frittenden in Kent, Wiggonholt in West Sussex, and Herstmonceux in East Sussex, the Met Office said.
Many places are set for a “quite grey” start on Sunday, with cloud coming in across the North Sea, but that will burn away, according to Snell.
There will be lots of sunshine, which may trigger a few showers later on across the southern half of the UK.
