Quote from the lunch time news -
'Sun worshippers are basking in more record-breaking weather - as Britain feels its hottest September 30 in more than 100 years.
The previous record for the last day of September was set in 1908 - 27.8C in Maidenhead.
The mercury could rise beyond 29C this afternoon trumping the Costa del Sol, Turkey, Cuba and Mexico.
There were reports that many Britons had taken "sickies" off work to peel off in parks, gardens and on the beach.
Many others were preparing to head for the coast this weekend, sparking a huge increase in hotel bookings.
Yesterday saw temperatures as high as 28.8C, making it the hottest September 29 since 1895, when the mercury peaked in York at 27.5C.
Records will be broken again today if temperatures exceed the 27.8C set in Maidenhead in 1901.
Meanwhile, Saturday could become the warmest day ever for October if it peaks at above the 29.4C reached on October 1, 1985, in Cambridgeshire.'
I can tell you it is bloody hot here in Luton too!!
* Britain has experienced the highest October temperature on record with RAF Finningley in Yorkshire feeling the heat at 30C at 3pm.
The previous record of 29.4C was set in Cambridge in 1985.
It is the second day of record breaking weather.
