Perfect day for a barbecue

The sun will continue to shine on the UK today, making for perfect barbecue conditions, forecasters said.

The soaring temperatures and blue skies which replaced the bank holiday drizzle look set to provide a sunny start to the weekend.

Forecasters at MeteoGroup said today would be very warm and mostly dry.

The South East is expected to enjoy some of the highest temperatures in England, with maximums expected to be around 24C (75.2F).

The good weather has prompted a warning about cooling off safely.

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: “With very warm weather set to mark the last weekend of half term in many areas, RoSPA is urging that people take care when cooling off in rivers and lakes.”

Tomorrow will be cooler with highs of 22C (71.6F) in the South East. There is also a chance of heavy rain and thunder, especially in the South East.
