Beach-goers have flocked to Bournemouth for the second day in a row as temperatures continue to soar.
The sandy beach down south grabbed national attention as hundreds of people packed along the beaches.
And it looks like Thursday was no different.
Scorching temperatures saw the mercury rise to 30 in parts of the UK before midday and pictures captured from Bournemouth show people lapping up the sun.
And people have taken to Twitter to both share their frustration, and poke fun at the situation.
Special thank you to Covid-19 which has kindly agreed to leave Bournemouth beach alone so idiots can have a nice day out in the sun!

All we had to do was ask nicely and explain we were really, really bored of lockdown! Why did no one think of this sooner?

Dr Michaela Hegglin, associate professor in atmospheric chemistry at the University of Reading's Department of Meteorology, said Thursday could see some of the "highest UV levels ever recorded" in Britain.
She said: "This is because of a combination of factors. We are at the summer solstice, when the sun is almost directly overhead at one o'clock.
"UV levels this high are rare in the UK, so people with light skin should be very careful to avoid getting burnt.
"While UV is important for getting vitamin D and keeping us healthy, too much of it can cause skin cancer or eye cataracts."
