The Met Office said there would be constant sunshine in what was likely to be the hottest day of the year so far.
Temperatures were expected to climb to a maximum of 30C at around 5pm or 6pm in London, making the capital around 5C hotter than Ibiza and 4C warmer than Barcelona.
London was also on track to be warmer than many of Europe's other popular holiday destinations including Majorca's Palma and Marseille.
The Met Office said the highest temperature recorded yesterday was 28.3C at Wisley, Surrey, making it the hottest day of the year so far, with more likely heatwaves forecast this week.

Charismatic, sexy and funny...good things really do come in threes
In terms of watchability, a cast made up of Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty is pretty hard to beat. The trio's relatable charisma, and the residual associations of their TV roles in The Split and The Crown (where Doherty played the young Princess Anne) add mightily to the enjoyment of Mike Bartlett's play, in which a loving but romantically stultified middle-aged couple decide to invite a younger woman into their bed and their lives.
