And their wishes will be answered, as forecasters predict the balmy weather will still be around on Saturday - although it will be a touch cooler. The west of England will still enjoy temperatures of 28C, while eastern and central parts of England will have to make do with temperatures of around 27C, as some cloud will blot the blue skies. However, the Met Office estimates that much of the cloud will be burned off by the bright sun and warned that there will be no fresh breezes as winds are expected to be very light. A spokesman said: 'It will be dry, bright and continue to be very hot - but will be slightly cooler as temperatures will vary between 26C and 28C across much of England'.

The driest July ever recorded was in 1825 when just 8mm of rain fell. Yesterday people were making the most of the glorious summer sunshine and flooding onto the beaches, into parks or simply going out in the back garden. After 11 straight days of scorching temperatures in excess of 28C, the mean temperature is a degree above the July average of 23.4C. Britain as a whole has only seen 9.2mm of rainfall so far this month, which is just 12 per cent of the July average of 34.6mm. Scotland has seen the most rainfall so far with 16.8mm, but that is only 17 per cent of the monthly average. 'England and Wales have seen just 4mm of rain this month', a Met Office spokesman said. 'But it's too early to judge where it will end up in the record.'.
