Typically, the south-east has always been the hottest part of the country, because it's closest to the equator and less exposed to the Atlantic Ocean.
But here are a few other warm weather destinations too.
With a UK staycation looking most likely for the majority of holidaymakers this year, here are the places to book where you'll have long sunny days.
Dorset
Devon
Gloucestershire
Cornwall
Sussex
Wales
Cambridgeshire
Situated inland, Cambridgeshire isn't affected by the cooling effects of being close to the sea, so tends to be pretty warm in summer - in fact the average high temp is 23 degrees.
Its home to a number of lovely market towns and cities like Ely and Peterborough, the most famous of which in Cambridge - which in July 2019, became the hottest place in Britain, with a temperature of 38.7 degrees recorded at the Botanic Gardens.
From punting on the river to visiting historic pubs, indulging in retail therapy and sunbathing on Parker's Piece, Cambridge is a great place for a holiday - and easy and cheap to get to from London, too.
