A woman has shared on TikTok how going out in the sun as Britain hotted up last week for just an hour left her with painful sunburn on her face.    

Social media user Eva Jones shared with her 5,000 followers how she had laid on a British beach in the sun on Wednesday – as temperatures were rising ahead of today’s predicted 40-degree plus weather – and quickly burned in the sun after admitting she hadn’t applied enough sunscreen. 

Eva, who was on a camping trip at the time, said she didn’t feel like her skin was burning because ‘there was a breeze’ and she was only in the heat for a short time.

Eva Jones posted on TikTok a clip showing how her face had swollen after she spent just an hour laying in the sun at a British seaside resort last week – pictured as her she normally looks

The TikTokker told her 5,000 followers that she thought she’d get a tan…but was left with a bright red face and painful blisters while on a camping trip on Wednesday

However, hours after she returned back to the campsite where she was staying, her face began to turn painfully red and sore…before breaking out in blisters in the days afterwards. 

The short clip she shared on the social media platform showed her skin in various stages as the damage to her skin from the sunburn became clear, adding her surprise that the UK sun could be so brutal. 

Clarifying in a follow-up video, Eva said she thought temperatures at the time had only been around 20 degrees, saying: ‘I didn’t wear enough sunscreen, went to the beach, for an hour. 

‘There was a breeze so I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was.

The photos showed the brutal effect just 60 minutes of lying in the British sunshine has had on her skin – as it quickly turned bright red

Eva clarified that she would never lay in the sun during the current record breaking temperatures – but admits she should have worn more sunscreen

After her face reddened, she then shared that her skin had swollen up from the impact of laying in the sun

Finally, Eva’s face was left covered in blisters as her skin began to recover from her time in the sun

She explained that after returning to her tent later in the day, her ‘nose started to feel red and then my whole face started to feel red and then I started to burn.’ 

Warning others not to risk going out in the UK’s record temperatures today, she said: ‘I wouldn’t go out in weather like this – when it’s stupid degree and not put sunscreen on. I should have put enough sunscreen on last week, that was my mistake.’

Britain is on track for its hottest day on record today as temperatures soar towards 40C (104F) amid growing travel chaos as schools close again and millions of people responded to the chaos by working from home.

The Met Office has confirmed that last night was the warmest night on record in Britain, with temperatures not falling below 25C (77F) in many areas of England and Wales. 

Maximum temperatures of at least 40C are expected in England this afternoon – but could rise even further to as high as 43C

The highest overnight minimum was 25.9C (78.6F) at Emley Moor in West Yorkshire – smashing the previous record of 23.9C (75F) in Brighton set on August 3, 1990.

Temperatures had already hit 35C (95F) by 10.30am this morning in Cambridge and London. It comes after the overnight minimum last night in the capital fell to just 25.8C (78.4F) at Kenley in Croydon, South London.

Forecasters expect an absolute high of 43C (109F) in central or eastern England today – one day after Wales had its hottest day ever with 37.1C (99F) in Hawarden, Flintshire, beating a record set in the same village in 1990.

The mercury peaked in the UK at 38.1C (100.6F) in Suffolk yesterday, making it the hottest day of 2022 and the third hottest day on record, after 38.7C (101.7F) in Cambridge in 2019 and 38.5C (101.3F) in Kent in August 2003.
