DOG’S BALEARICS
Britain is set to be hotter than the Balearics today as the mercury soars to 24C – but sudden hail showers are expected to sweep the East.
After a weekend of balmy sunshine, some may now need a brolly despite the high temperatures continuing today.
Brits will be able to bask in the heat as any fog and low cloud lifts away this morning, making room for sunny spells – while Ibiza just scrapes 22C.
It’s welcome news to those whose holiday plans were scuppered due to the latest green-list announcement – but as it finally starts to feel like summer, some parts of the country will be struck by sudden hail showers.

BRITS LEFT RED-FACED AFTER STAYING OUT TOO LONG IN THE SUN THIS WEEK
Dozy Brits were left red-faced after staying out too long in the sun this week.
Social media pics showed the body areas they’d remembered to cover up — or not — in a painful British bake-off.
It comes after Britain reached highs of 26C – with parts of the UK clocking in HOTTER than Spain.
As Brits packed out beaches and parks to soak up the rays, tourists in Ibiza were pictured sheltering under umbrellas during downpours as temperatures barely reached 18C.
The UK’s sunny spell will also be warmer than other popular destinations, including Portuguese archipelago Madeira, where it will be a pitiful 16C and rainy, and Nice in southern France where it is only set to reach 22C.

HOT DOGS CONTINUED
If you place the back of your hand on the pavement and it feels hot – then it’s too hot for your dog’s paw.
Experts call it the seven-second pavement test – if it’s too hot for your hand for seven seconds, then walking your dog in those conditions wouldn’t be the best idea.
Dogs’ main sweat glands are located on their paw pads – which is one of the reasons why walking on hot pavements is uncomfortable for the pups.
In the hot weather, don’t run, jog or cycle with dogs.

IS IT TOO HOT TO WALK MY DOG?
Dogs, just like people, can get heatstroke so you should walk them when it’s cooler, such as early in the morning or later at night.
Heatstroke can be fatal and occur in a matter of minutes, with tell-tale signs include collapsing, excessive panting and dribbling.
But sadly, often when they show symptoms the damage is already done.

WEEKEND SET TO BRING MINI HEATWAVE ACROSS THE UK, FORECASTERS SAY
Britain could be on the brink of a mini-heatwave this weekend, with the mercury reaching the high 20s across most of the UK.
A spell of high pressure means most areas will meet the Met Office's definition of a heatwave – defined as three days above a particular temperature threshold.
The sun is set to stick around for the rest of the month, with only north-western parts due a little wind and rain towards the end of next week.
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon told the PA news agency: "There's a definition of what a heatwave is – it is at least three consecutive days of maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding a temperature threshold.
"It is above 28C (82.4F) for London and large chunk of the south east, it is 27C (80.6F) for the Midlands and going towards the south west its 26C (78.8F). In Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Devon and Cornwall and the north east its 25C (77F) – so it is a sliding scale depending on where you are, but we haven't yet met that maximum threshold."

WEEKEND SET TO BRING MINI-HEATWAVE
But the weekend is set to be a scorcher with the mercury potentially tipping 30C (86F) in parts of the South East by the beginning of next week.
Mr Claydon said: "But by the beginning of the weekend and going into next week we might start to meet that criteria, by Sunday we might see 28C (82.4F) or 29C (84.2F).
"It looks set to continue into next week, that is outside of our detailed forecast but the indication is that settled warm weather is set to continue."
Mr Claydon continued: "As well as the 28C/29C (82.4F/84.2F) expected in London and the south east, elsewhere in places like Nottingham will potentially be meeting the heat wave criteria with 27C (80.6F) forecast.
"Various other places set to meet the heatwave threshold as well."

MET OFFICE: HOT CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

“High pressure is starting to build which should lead to fine and dry conditions, with the occasional showery and thundery outbreaks.
“We’re hopefully looking at what will be a very nice June indeed.” - John Hall
