*Ø* Blogmanac | Hottest day ever in UK
The record for the hottest day ever in Britain was broken on Sunday as temperatures soared to 37.4C (99.3F). Recorded at Heathrow airport, it beat the existing record of 37.1C - recorded at Cheltenham in August 1990.
Topping 99F means bookmakers William Hill will have to pay out about £250,000. The Met Office confirmed the new record at 1330 BST, adding that the temperature may not have reached its peak.
