Gogerddan in Wales saw 25.1C, while temperatures in Northern Ireland peaked at 23.8C in Magilligan.
The UK’s national weather and climate service said the records were “not likely to last long” as forecasters expect it to be even warmer in England on Sunday.
Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said it was not expected to be as warm on Sunday in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
“The really warm air will probably be confined to southern and eastern parts of England, with temperatures expected to peak in central parts of the country at around 27C,” he said.
Temperatures climbed steadily over the week, with the previous record set on Thursday, with a peak of 24.6C in London’s St James’s Park.
