UK heatwave: Hottest day of the year recorded as temperatures reach 33C

Hottest day of the year as temperatures reach 33C


Britain has experienced the hottest day of the year so far as temperatures hit just over 33C (91F) at Heathrow.
These was two days ago.. shortly after 2pm that the mercury had reached the year-high at the airport, after 32.8C been chalked up at nearby Northolt, west London. 
Before today, 2013’s hottest day was last Wednesday, with 32.2C recorded in Hampton.
But with thunderstorms forecast, today is not only hotter but sweatier.
Earlier today Brendan Jones, a senior forecaster with Meteogroup, predicted conditions would be ‘very, very humid’.
He said: ‘So while 33C would be about a degree higher than the hottest temperature so far, it will feel even warmer.
‘It’s going to be sticky, oppressive and close, and will make things feel quite uncomfortable.’
