THE GUARDIAN: Hottest day of year expected tomorrow as heatwave spreads across England
Sunday is forecast to be the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures hitting 30C (86F) – hotter than Rome, Athens, Lisbon and Istanbul.
The heatwave, which is set to continue for most of next week, comes as millions prepare to watch England take on Germany in the World Cup, Murraymania sweeps Wimbledon, and thousands bask in the sun at the usually mud-caked Glastonbury music festival.
London and south-east England are expected to experience the warmest weather. Western England and the Midlands will also have hot sunny weather but it will be cloudy in Northern Ireland and Scotland, with a risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Today was forecast to be slightly cooler, with temperatures of 26C in the south-east. >>> David Batty and agencies | Saturday, June 26, 2010
