Hundreds of beachgoers have been spotted making the most of the mini heatwave today with a mass outdoor yoga session, as Britain’s warm weekend continues.

Temperatures are set to hit highs of 23 degrees today, as the Met Office predicts it will remain humid and dry for most across the UK. 

It comes after a few days of scorching weather, with south-east London bearing the brunt of the heat on Friday as temperatures reached a whopping 30C. 

While temperatures are milder today, people have still been making the most of the warm weather with trips to the beach and walks with their dog.

Around 500 men and women laid out their towels on the sand at King Edwards Bay in North Tyneside this morning, before taking part in a 45 minute yoga class.

The monthly event, organised by Shore Yoga, encourages people of all ages to take up the hobby and is free of charge.

Beach yoga has taken off in recent years, as participants look to explore mindfulness, wellness and physical fitness — and it was a beautiful day for it.

Outbreaks of rain are expected to move west across parts of Ireland this afternoon, with showers in the north west of Scotland and western parts of England and Wales.

Rain and cloud is set to push east across northern areas on Monday, but the south of England will remain dry with sunny spells heading into next week.

Marco Petagna, meteorologist said: ‘We will see a mix bag of weather across the UK over the next few days with most of us seeing some rain at times, but feeling pleasantly warm when the sun comes through.’

Meanwhile, parts of the country have already well-exceeded July’s average rainfall figures despite only being halfway through the month.

The Met Office spokesperson said England had 97per cent of July’s average rainfall between July 1 and 15, Wales had 65 per cent, Scotland 49 per cent and Northern Ireland 47 per cent.

London has had 154 per cent of its July average already and Dorset 120 per cent. Edinburgh has only had 40 per cent and Dundee 33 per cent.

Met Office spokesperson Nicola Maxey said: ‘There are quite big regional differences but overall it’s looking like a wet month so far.

‘There is a caveat that, with a dry couple of weeks, by the end of the month things could even themselves out.’

She said that two or three heavy downpours often caused much of a location’s July rainfall totals, rather than a prolonged period of wet weather.

St Swithin’s Day on Monday – traditionally said to predict the next 40 days of weather – was another wet one for much of England and Wales.
