It is set to be another scorcher today as temperatures are predicted to soar for the hottest day of the year.

Despite the soaring heats in Andover yesterday, the Met Office is predicting today to be even hotter.

Areas in the south look set to be bathed in temperatures hitting 26°C.

Those heading outdoors to enjoy the fine weather are warned to be aware of high UV levels.

Experts have warned that, because the exposure category is so high, people should seek shade from between 11am and 3pm.

This will be the last of the warm spell as the new week will be cloudier, cooler and will bring on the rain.

From Monday temperatures will be around 17°C and this will continue for the rest of the week.
