The mercury has been steadily climbing in London all week, and it looks set to be one of the hottest May Bank Holidays in a century, with temperatures predicted to hit the 33C mark by the weekend.
And with every heatwave, comes a series of very pretty sunrises.
A quick scroll through your Instagram feed will show how Londoners - and everyone around the UK - have been getting snap happy at sunrise, competing to capture the skies in all their multi-colour glory.
Fiery pink and lilac clouds, blue and orange skies above Tower Bridge and behind the Gherkin, Londoners have been photographing sunrises in every corner of the capital.
