Roasting England beats the Med.The Sun
Torquay, Devon. By ALEX PEAKE ENGLAND sizzled in the hottest day of the year so far as temperatures hit 27°C yesterday — beating Athens and Tenerife. HEATHROW was the hottest place in Britain, with parts of SURREY close behind on 26°C. The MIDLANDS, EAST ANGLIA and the SOUTH EAST all saw temperatures rise above 25°C. Commuters in London boiled with rage as the Tube was disrupted by heat-affected lines. But on the south coast beaches were packed with bikini-clad beauties. In BOURNEMOUTH dancers Hannah Beavis, 19, and Laura Cresswell, 20, took a dip to cool down. Laura said: “It’s great to get the bikini out again. Let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.” Matthew Walker, one, took the chance to build a sandcastle on Southsea Beach in HAMPSHIRE. Asda said sales of sun screen and barbecue grub were up 50 per cent. thesun.co.uk --------------------------- Meanwhile, up in Scotland it's probably been raining. |

You're not too far wrong about the rain, quite spectacular though. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/4975686.stm Was beautifully warm and sunny during the day
