Us Brits just aren't used to this kind of heat.

And as the temperature reaches Mediterranean heights, the British people are turning to naturism, according to a survey.

A whopping 10% of the nation have admitted they wouldn't think twice about stripping down to their birthday suit to keep cool.

Londoners were the least able to hack the heat with 6% admitting 11C was too hot to handle in the tube filled city.

While the rest of the country said the couldn't take the heat if it was over 33C.

In fact the heat is getting to us so much that people all over the country are becoming seasonal nudists in a bod to cool down.

The sweltering temperatures are also giving the British economy a huge knock.

It's set to lose £8.6 billion as normally heat-deprived Brits take an average of two ‘sick’ days during the summer months.

A large number of employees blame hot workplaces as a reason not to clock on, the ‘Summer Cooldown’ study, commissioned by leading drinks brand Barefoot Wine, has revealed.

Olga Senkina, Marketing Director EMEA at Barefoot Wine, said: "Barefoot Refresh is all about bringing a little fizz and a lot of fun to different occasions, so we were amused to see the unique and unusual ways by which people cool down when the weather starts heating up.

"A tried and tested cool down method is to enjoy an ice cold tipple whilst socialising with friends so, this summer, we’ve launched the new Barefoot Refresh range to give wine lovers something lightly fizzy, keeping them cool as they enjoy the sunshine."
