Hottest May of the years!
Yesterday was the hottest start to May on record as the country was hit with wildfires.
A temperature of 28°C has been recorded in Kew Gardens, Richmond, southwest London, according to the Met Office.
A previous record of 27.4°C was previously recorded in Lossiemouth in 1990.
Plumes of smoke have also been seen across Derbyshire after a fire broke out near the Errwood reservoir in the Upper Goyt Valley – covering 40 hectares.
