The Ministry of Defense reported that about 1,295 people were monitored on Monday, a number that exceeds the last record recorded in a single day, which amounted to 1,185 migrants on November 11, 2021.
So far, 22,670 people have crossed this year, nearly double the number recorded in the same period in 2021.
Last year, UK authorities intercepted and took to land 28,526 people trying to cross the sea.
And it has been a political snob for the British government, which has vowed to better control the borders after Brexit.
In an effort to deal with the issue, laws have been tightened to target the people-smuggling gangs behind the crossings.
But controversial plans to send some migrants to Rwanda for resettlement have met with a series of legal challenges.
The British government has defended the policy as necessary given the high costs of processing asylum claims and finding housing for migrants.
