The hot weather is set to continue on Sunday, but temperatures are due to drop slightly as the UK passes the peak of its third heatwave this summer.
Temperatures soared on Saturday, with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all recording their warmest day of the year so far.
The Met Office said Aviemore in Scotland hit 32.2C, and it was 30C in Magilligan, marking the first time the milestone had been reached in Northern Ireland since July 18, 2022.

Although England was also hot, with maximum temperatures also hitting 33.1C in Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, it did not break the country’s current record for the year of 35.8C, recorded in Kent at the beginning of July.
Temperatures are forecast to dip marginally on Sunday, with possible highs of 31C, before Monday brings some relief from the baking heat.
Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said: “While we’ve seen the peak of the heat in this heatwave through today it’s still going to be very warm on Sunday before turning cooler for many of us on Monday.
“So if you’re not a fan of the heat temperatures will be falling away but also bringing some heavy spells of rain, or welcome rainfall, for many of us.”
Tennis fans will continue to grapple with the heat at Wimbledon following a few days where spectators needed medical attention amid high temperatures.
In response, the All England Club said it significantly increased the number of on-screen communications and push notifications to remind guests to stay hydrated and seek respite from the sun.
The club also said service stewards on court have access to water for spectators in need, that on-site medical teams are ready to assist when required and that the grounds have more than 100 free water refill points as well as a pharmacy where guests can buy sunscreen.
Amber heat health alerts are in place for the Midlands and southern and eastern England until 9am on Monday, warning of the potential for a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions.
