Hotter still for some regions

Tuesday 30th July was the hottest day of the year so far for the UK, with temperatures reaching 32°C.

The hottest day of the year beat the previous hottest day of the year from the 19th of July by a narrow margin of 0.1°C.

The peak was reached in both Heathrow and Kew Gardens in London, though it looks a few degrees lower on Wednesday 31st for these areas.

Remaining very warm or hot though, as temperatures still look to reach the high-twenties; not quite as high as the low thirties reached the day prior.

However, some more western counties such as Devon, Somerset, Shropshire and across north-west England, may regionally see their hottest day on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. Ireland also looks to be warmer across the board with mid-twenties forecast.

The UK's hottest day title as a whole however, is likely to remain with Tuesday 30th July for now.
