Post UK swelters on hottest day of year
Britain has been basking in temperatures of up to 35.9C, falling just short of the all-time record.
Gravesend in Kent recorded the highest temperature of 35.9C, just 1.2C short of the national record hit in Cheltenham in 1990.

London reached 35.3C - the highest ever recorded in the capital - as the UK enjoyed the hottest day of the year so far.

The heat caused several train tracks to buckle - one prompting a train driver to stop his train as it approached Gatwick Airport. Overhead power cables were also damaged.

It also resulted in the London Eye being closed for about seven hours - reopening in the cool of the evening at 2030 BST - and in Berkshire police had to hand out water to motorists trapped in miles of tailback following a major crash.

Even Concorde was affected, with the supersonic airliner having to be diverted to Newfoundland for extra fuel on its way between London and New York - increasing the journey time by two hours - because of extra power needed on takeoff.




consider that were lucky to get more than 25 degrees C in the UK, it was hot today for us
