The recovery of the vehicle occurred during the middle of what was a baking Bank Holiday weekend across the UK. 

Temperatures could reach as much as 25C on Tuesday, making the UK hotter than Lanzarote and Barcelona.

Today’s scorcher comes after thermometers hit 21C yesterday to cap off a balmy bank holiday weekend that saw Britons flock to beaches, parks and lochs, with many enjoying a cooling dip in the water.

The Met Office says the settled dry and sunny spell is expected to last for at least the next ten days as summer officially starts tomorrow.

The Met Office’s long-term outlook states: ‘A north/south split is possible as June progresses, with northern areas having a better chance of dry conditions, whereas the South may be slightly wetter than average.

‘In general, the temperatures are likely to be above average.’
