Some lucky areas of the UK are set to reach 28°C today as a hot spell continues to shine down on the country.
Monday saw one of the hottest day of the year so far, with a temperature of 24.5°C recorded in St James’s Park, London.
Yesterday managed to just creep above this, with 24.9°C recorded n Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire.
But temperatures are expected to climb even higher, with highs of 27°C expected today.
Meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said the UK was ‘probably going to be surpassing that essentially every day’.
He said temperatures will be ‘well above average’, and areas between London and Bristol could reach 28°C.
