IT probably has not escaped your notice that Worcester basked in temperatures above 30C yesterday.
Police dealt with four calls to dogs trapped in hot cars in Worcestershire and Public Heath England issued advice on staying safe in the heat.
People saw the temperature rise in their homes and gardens.
And they found a variety of ways to stay cool in the heat.
Just like Lex Hooper's dog Pooka who enjoyed a dip in the swimming pool.
Also enjoying a dip in the pool were Jacob and Libby Bozward with their grandparents Sandra and Gordon
Jazmin also enjoyed a dip in the pool
But it was all too much for 11-month-old Olivia who went for a snooze in her dad Paul's arms.
Megan Finlow helped people cool down - with a massive water bomb
While eight-year-old Ellis Wearing looked cool - and stayed cool - in the shade with a drink
It wasn't just the humans who were moping their brows - photographer Richard Purvis caught a dragonfly in Severn Stoke doing it too!
Marc Ti was enjoying a spot of sunbathing on the Malvern Hills until his cap blew away
Tracey Bowkett who sent this picture of the temperature in her garden, off Bath Road, reaching just over 36C.
Or Diane Orgee who was unable to touch her car's steering wheel in the blistering heat
Spare a thought for Discover History's Paul Harding who has spent today in Medieval woolen clothing. Phew!
Or PC Dave Wise who fittingly tweets under the handle @CopThatCooks.
He said: "It's clear whoever designed these uniforms never had to patrol in 32 degree heat."
Four-year-old Maisie had the right idea - get in a paddling pool
Mum Kelley Partridge said it was 35C in the back garden.
Spencer enjoyed cooling off in South Quay fountains.
He turns one on Saturday and loved his first experience in the fountains with mum Emily Morgan and auntie Aimee Sealey.
And don't forget the dogs who also enjoyed cooling off in paddling pools - like Nij Dickinson's dog Freddie.
And Donna Quinn's dog Ralph
And Jennifer Smith's two dogs too. Looks like fun!
Staff at Boston Tea Party kept everyone cool with free smoothie samples
Joanna Monks enjoyed a walk in Gheluvelt Park where it was 32C
And no doubt many of you are considering heading off to a beer garden after work - like Adriana Reis did last night.
