Temperatures across the UK are soaring and are set to continue like this across the next week.
The Met Office has since issued an amber weather warning for parts of southern England concerning 'extreme heat' and although Scotland remains unaffected by this, at present, it's still set to remain warm.
According to the forecasters, Glasgow will see highs of 27C this week with today (August 11) alone set to reach 25C.

However as temperatures soar, many people will be heading out to the shops in a bid to buy last minute items for the BBQ or ice lollies for the kids - and themselves - to help cool them down. B
However, because of this, one staff member from Aldi has issued a plea on behalf of supermarket workers amid the UK heatwave.
In a post on Facebook's group, Aldi UK shoppers, they said that people should "spare a thought" for supermarket staff and to be patient, asking them not abuse staff members.
In a post the shop worker said: "Just wanted to say. Yes it's silly season. Every man and his dog has come out to play and visit the supermarkets. I'm not just on about my store I'm on about every supermarket, everywhere.
"To all that shop. Spare a thought for the people that are working in this heat, to keep your cupboards stocked. Or just so you can pop in for an ice lolly. When we say we don't have a product we genuinely don't. The stock is worked, and worked again hours after. To keep it on the shelves for YOU.
"My staff are tired but yet keep smiling and pushing through. Because yes, it's our job but more importantly we have a passion and we actually love our jobs.
"If there's a queue. Just queue. We will get you through as quick as physically possible. So waving your fingers in the air and scowling/abusing my staff, oh and generally being a moaner will get you nowhere. If I had more tills I would open them. Just remember you don't know the circumstances or what is happening behind the scenes.
"All I'm trying to say is Be Kind. Share that smile with a stranger. Just appreciate people, and remember that we are trying our best. That is all. Many thanks. From all staff in all supermarkets."
In response to the post, many people quickly defended the plea as well as supermarket staff across the UK.
One said: "Well said. Hubby works food retail, the shops have air conditioning but often storage and staff area’s don’t do spare a thought for above reasons and conditions behind the scenes."
Another added: "You always work so hard under the pressure of management and customers. It's such a shame more people don't understand the constraints put upon you all. Your doing a great job."
"Have never met a grumpy person on the tills in any Aldi. Always chatty and always helpful" a third commented.
