Temperatures are expected to hit 33C (91F) tomorrow after today saw highs of 29.5C (85F) in Wisley, Surrey.

And if the daily temperature reaches 28C or higher for the next eight days it will go down as the longest hot streak for four years.

But water bosses are threatening to dampen the mood, urging customers to cut down by not washing cars or sprinkling lawns.

If reservoirs fall too low it could lead to a hosepipe ban and the introduction of draconian drought conditions not seen since 1976.

Anglian asked its four million customers to limit showers to five minutes, avoid washing cars and to “learn to love a brown lawn”.

Yorkshire Water called for four-minute showers — and even created a tailor-made playlist of songs.

And Severn Trent urged customers to turn off the tap while they brush their teeth — and urged gardeners to use a watering can instead of a hose.

Anglian spokeswoman Sarah Castelvecchi said: “We want everyone to enjoy the fabulous sunshine and being outdoors.

“However we would like to ask everyone to think about how they are using their water.

“Every drop of water is precious, so we work hard to make sure there is enough to go around for both today and tomorrow.”
