TEMPERATURES in Brighton and the UK are set to soar to 30C by the end of the week.

It comes just a week after many people were left sweltering last Friday in what proved to be the hottest day of the year.

However, temperatures soon plummeted again on Saturday and Sunday with highs of only 20C.

But this is all about to change as another heatwave is on its way.

And temperatures will start getting warmer as the week goes on.
