SOUK UP THE SUN

42 days of warm weather forecast

- PAUL DONNELLEY

BRITAIN will be hotter than Morocco this week as a 1,000-mile wide "heat dome" sends temperatures soaring to 24C.

The Met Office has forecast 22C today, 23C by Wednesday and 24C on Saturday in parts of the country including London.

That makes it warmer than the 21C due in Rabat, Morocco, where the souks, or open-air markets, will still see shoppers searching for the shade.

Weather gurus also say the heat should be around until July 3 that's 42 days of sizzling sunshine.
