And with the dry spell set to continue, Thames Water has issued advice on how to save water with some areas in the region experiencing low pressure as demand soars.
A Met Office forecaster said the weather this week will remain dry with plenty of sunshine with temperatures expected to be a little lower than those seen during the early part of the month.
However, temperatures could once again soar next week with highs of 28C predicted on Monday.
Today United Utilities announced England’s first hosepipe ban in six years which will come into force on August 5, affecting millions of customers in the north west.
But no such ban appears to be on the horizon for Oxfordshire - yet.
Thames Water’s top tips are to take shorter showers and to use a watering can instead of a hose as well as offering a range of free water-saving devices to customers.
