UK records hottest ever May Day
The UK recorded its hottest ever May Day on Thursday, having just experienced its sunniest April since records began, according to the Met Office.
The unprecedented temperature of 28°C was recorded at the famous botanical park Kew Gardens in south-west London, and the Met Office said the mercury was still rising.
The previous record of 27.4°C was set in 1990 in the coastal town of Lossiemouth in northern Scotland.
