| Warmest day of year as UK temperature hits 24.9C - April 2025 Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 20:24, 29th April 2025 |     |
From the BBC:
The UK saw its warmest day of the year on Tuesday with a peak of 24.9C (76.8F) recorded - and forecasters predicting that later this week could see the hottest start to May on record.
The highest temperatures were seen in Ross-on-Wye in the West Midlands and Trawscoed in the west of Wales - surpassing 2025's previous high of 24.5C recorded at St James's Park in London on Monday.
Forecasters say the current warm spell could see temperatures peak at 29C on the first day of the new month on Thursday, as many voters head to the polls for local elections in England.
High UV and pollen levels also likely. The weather will gradually cool over the bank holiday weekend, although it will stay dry and sunny for most.
Peak temperatures in Scotland on Tuesday varied between 17C in the Northern Isles and 22.4C at Aboyne, while 22.2C was recorded at Derrylin in Northern Ireland.
They will widely be in the low to mid-twenties on Wednesday, with the hottest weather likely in the London area at 27C.
The last time this temperature was recorded in April was in 2018 in Cambridge.

I put the shorts on for the first time this year.
And Finn had his cooling mat for the car.
