Millions are set to skip work today for \u201cBunk off Monday\u201d.<\/p>\n

The number of sickies is likely to surge so Brits can bask in temperatures of up to 25C. Sickness days are poised to leap by 20% and annual leave bookings are also up 15% on average tomorrow (Monday, October 9). <\/p>\n

Alan Price, CEO at BrightHR, which carried out the research, said: \u201cThe last burst of summer weather means absences are predicted to rise with the mercury in a rare October sunbathing rush. Sickness rates spike during warm weather and were up by a fifth during the September heatwave.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmployers can expect to see empty desks. Some homeworkers will also swap the home office for the pub garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the surge in sickies is also likely to lead to a \u00a3750million hit to the economy, experts claimed. The warning comes after torrential downpours continued to batter parts of Scotland yesterday.<\/p>\n

Aberfeldy Caravan Park in Perthshire flooded after the River Tay burst its banks. A yellow weather warning was issued for rain across western parts of Scotland tomorrow. Tom Morgan, of the Met Office, said the mixed conditions were caused by warm weather travelling up from France meeting a cold front from the north.<\/p>\n

However, the weather is set to turn again next week, with biblical rain being reported. New satellite imagery from Met Desk's WX Charts \u2013 not associated with the Met Office \u2013 has shown that another onslaught of rainy weather will hit most of the country in the early hours of Friday morning.<\/p>\n
