BRITAIN is to roast in a week-long heatwave with the mercury set to hit a sweltering 32C tomorrow.

Hot air from the Sahara desert will see temperatures rocket higher than Hawaii.

It has prompted fears that roads will melt and rail lines warp.

The heatwave is predicted to cost the economy £1billion in sick days as sun-loving Brits opt to catch some rays instead of working.

“A blowtorch weather pattern is developing, with a scorching 32C possible,” said forecaster Brian Gaze of TheWeatherOutlook.

“The next few days will bring the hottest weather of summer so far.”

Yesterday, thousands of Brits took advantage of 27C heat and headed to beaches and parks across the country to bask in the sunshine.

RecordIn response to the heatwave, Coral

and Ladbrokes have slashed odds on July being the hottest on record to 2-1 and 13-8 respectively.

Jessica Bridge from Ladbrokes said: “The odds are melting as quick as the ice creams during the heatwave.

“Bosses all over the UK should brace themselves for a deluge of sickies next week as it looks like the sizzling weather is here to stay and will see July and summer 2016 soar into the record books.”

Experts are warning elderly and vulnerable people to take extra care. Malcolm Booth, head of the National Federation of Occupa-tional Pensioners, said: “The cool and wet summer can make us forget how dangerous a sudden hot spell can be for the elderly and others with health issues.”
