UK hottest temperature this year
Better get used to this every day Downunder, folks!
SUN-starved Brits stripped off yesterday to bask in temperatures of 80°F (27°C).
Beaches across the country were packed as the UK outshone Brazilian hotspot Rio de Janeiro, which only managed a paltry 23°C (73°F).
The seaside was full of beauties in bikinis — or even less — from the West Country to Teesside. Many parents struck it lucky as they had taken the week off for half-term.
By lunchtime 10,000 people had flocked to Bournemouth, snaffling all the deckchairs and emptying shops of buckets and spades. Ice-cream sellers in the Dorset resort were rushed off their feet and car parks were jammed.
Local student Rebecca Simms, 23, said: “Thank goodness the sun is out — I was beginning to forget what it looked like.
“It’s been awful month. I really can’t remember a sunny day until now.�
Pat Singer, of the Bournemouth beach office, said: “We have had thousands of people out today. It feels like it is a Saturday. I don’t know where they have all come from.�
The heatwave is likely to continue until Sunday when there could be thundery showers.
Weather experts expect to see 29°C (84°F) by the weekend, which would make it the hottest of the year so far.
The hottest spot yesterday was London on 80°F. Tenerife and Crete were only 18°C (64°F).

Just like to point out tomorrow (31 May) is the first day of Winter in Perth so weather isn't too bad - we need the rain!!
Having moved to Perth last year from the Bournemouth area I can't think of anything worse than sharing a very average English beach on a hot day with 10,000 people - urgh!! Parking near the beach is scarce, £10 a day charges when you do get a space, queues for dirty toilets, queues for ice cream, queues for drinks, squashed on the sand a few feet from another family - no thanks.

Nice to know you still have a British sense of Humour.
Why bother with a bank Holiday in Winter?
Why bother with a beach ?
PS dont worry about the Rain it can stick around till November , I've seen some wet Winters and Springs in Perth.

Agree with your comments on the beach, not really a beach person myself, I live in the Hills, prefer wildlife, bush walking.

People around here don't seem to know what I'm on about when I say 'bank holiday' - do they call them public holidays?? What's this one for - Queens Birthday? I'm still on a UK calendar.
