But thankfully the sunny weather won't stop as soon we we close our laptops, with it set to stay warm until we hit our pillows.
And with June just around the corner, more people will be making the most of the with trips to beer gardens or the seaside.

But when it comes to days where we will be switching from our boots to flip flips, people have been warned that they could risk a pretty hefty fine if they wearing impractical footwear at the wheel.
As exciting as the hot weather is, it’s vital not to take your foot off the brake when it comes to road safety, warns Dorry Potter, car expert at National Scrap Car.
So what are they warning drivers about? Here is what you need to know
Wearing impractical footwear at the wheel
Potential penalty: £5,000 + penalty points
The experts warn that whilst flip flops are popular in summer, they don't make the most appropriate footwear for driving in.
they explain: "In fact, Rule 97 of the highway code clearly states that clothing and footwear should not prevent you from being able to use the controls.
"This means that if you are caught by the police or involved in an accident, you can be charged for “driving without due care and attention” - which carries a £100 on-the-spot fine and three penalty points on your licence.
"If it goes to court that can increase to a maximum penalty of £5,000, nine points and potentially a driving ban.
"This goes way beyond just a fashion disaster, so to avoid any of this, we recommend that drivers check their footwear before hitting the road or keep a spare pair of shoes in their car."
