SCORCHING temperatures tempted many people out to the beach yesterday as the mercury topped 24°C in parts of Essex.
The UK has seen weeks of glorious weather and has been widely held up as one of the things which has made lockdown palatable for many.
And yesterday was no different, as crowds flocked to beach to pick up what could be the last of the rays for some time.
Plenty of people, especially children, took a dip in the water to cool off and bask in the sunshine.
However, the weather is set to take a turn into the rest of the week with some cloudier weather and a chance of light rain.
Temperatures will be dropping to as low as 13°C from tomorrow.
The public has been reminded to practice social distancing following the relaxation of lockdown restrictions.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has allowed unlimited exercise and trips to beaches and parks as part of a gradual easing of lockdown.
