Brits can be seen in pics frolicking in the sea across the country with temperatures record-breaking across the UK.

The Met Office has said all four of the UK nations have recorded their warmest Easter Monday ever.

There were highs of 25C at Heathrow and Northolt, in London, as well as Wisley, in Surrey.

This beat the previous English record of 24C in the Solent in 2011.

Temperatures reached 24.2C at Kinlochewe in the Scottish Highlands, 23.6C in Cardiff and 21.4C in Armagh.

The highs beat the countries' previous Easter Monday records of 21.4C at Culzean Castle on Scotland's Ayrshire coast in 2014, 23.2C in Nantmor in north Wales in 1984, and 21.1C in Northern Ireland's County Fermanagh in 1984.

Pics emerging from around the UK today showed the beach in Broadstairs in Kent packed with revellers sunbathing and enjoying the weather.

Another girl beams for the camera while splashing about in the sea and looks delighted.

And a group of friends splash each other playfully.

Though it's not set to last with thunderstorms and gales forecast this week when Storm Hannah arrives.

It’s been a glorious four-day Easter weekend with records tumbling.

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each enjoyed their warmest Easter Sunday on record, the Met Office said.

Temperatures reached 23.4C at both Cardiff's Bute Park, in Wales, and at Scotland's Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, while 21C was recorded at Helen's Bay in Northern Ireland.

These beat the temperatures of 21.6C in Brynamman, Wales, in 1984, along with 20.7C in Aboyne, Scotland, in 2015, and 19.4C in Armagh in Northern Ireland dating back to 1924.

The highest temperature of this bright, sunny and dry Easter Sunday in England was the 24.6C which was reached at Heathrow.

This was still shy of the top Easter Sunday temperature from 2011 when the mercury reached 25.3C in the Solent.

Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said this morning that it’s expected to hit 26C today.

He said: "We have got high pressure moving at the moment giving most of the UK a lot of fine weather.

"This combined with the fact that the high pressure has dominated for the past few days is allowing the temperatures to heat and build."

The UK's warmest Easter temperature was the 29.4C recorded at Camden Square in London on Easter Saturday in 1949.

The other warmest Easter weekend days include the 26.9C recorded at London's St James's Park on Good Friday in 2011.

Back then the mercury also reached 25.3C on Easter Sunday and 24C on Easter Monday, both in the Solent.
