UK enjoys horny heatwave as scorching 34C Bank Holiday weekend triggers sex boom

The UK is set to be hotter than the Sahara on Monday with the mercury expected to hit 34C – smashing the all-time 32.8C May Day spring record set in 1944

It’s a Bonk Holiday as Britain enjoys a horny heatwave with the scorching May long weekend triggering a sex boom.

The UK is set to be hotter than the Sahara on Monday with the mercury expected to hit 34C – smashing the all-time 32.8C May Day spring record set in 1944.

And the balmy 20C nights mean young adults will go bonkers in the bedroom, having two extra sex sessions.

Relationship expert and broadcaster Lucy Beresford said: “People will be having more sexual activity now and in coming days.

“With temperatures suddenly up into the early 30Cs, people are wearing fewer clothes, feeling spontaneous and playful, and enjoying feel-good hormones released by the impact of the sun on the skin.

“And it’s a Bank Holiday, so people are off work and able to plan evening activities together, which is very arousing.”

Young adults have sex two or three times per week on average, YouGov polls show, but nookie rockets in hot weather.

Brits basked in another sizzler on Sunday as millions flocked to the beaches and pubs to enjoy the sun as thermometers soared to 31C.

Sunbathers and families packed seaside towns including Brighton and Bournemouth, while thousands more swarmed local swimming pools and rivers.

Monday is expected to be hotter than Laghouat, Algeria, an oasis town in the Sahara Desert.

The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “It’s exceptionally hot. Record-breaking temperatures are possible, with close to 34C shown on computer models.”

A Met Office forecaster said: “We could hit 33C, maybe even close to 34C, bringing our hottest day on record in May. It really is quite exceptional heat.”

A mass of super-heated air over the UK is bringing the sizzle, with 33C temperatures on Tuesday and sunshine seeing around 30C daily until Friday.

On Sunday, the Met Office shared a list of ‘rules’ for the public to keep themselves and others safe in the hot conditions. One ‘rule of thumb’ it recommends is based on NHS advice.

It said: “The NHS advises that sunscreen needs to be reapplied liberally and frequently (every two hours), and straight after you have been in water, even if it’s ‘water resistant’, and after towel drying, sweating or when it may have rubbed off.”
