Record heat for an August bank holiday weekend in England and Wales....

Quote:
It has been the hottest late August bank holiday weekend ever - with temperatures reaching 33.3C (91.94F) in west London.

The Met Office confirmed the new record temperature, which was set at Heathrow.

It beats the previous record of 31.5C (88.7F), set in 2001 and again at Heathrow.

And BBC Weather said UK temperatures could reach similar levels on Monday - with highs of up to 33C in south-east England.

The papers and news websites love this kind of thing because it allows them to have lots of pictures of fruity young girls in bikinis on their pages and still call it news
