Gadd, the heat!

London was in panic today as a strange yellow ball of flame was seen in the sky, causing temperatures to soar above 30 degrees.

"It's just too bleedin' 'ot, innit" said Reginald Blethers as he reached for a cooling gin and tonic.

The dreadful suffering is to continue throughout the week, with a possibility that Wednesday could be the hottest day ever recorded in the UK.

Bring it on!
