What a scorcher! Southsea blazes in the sunshine
In Southsea the beaches were packed with sun-worshippers lapping up the warmth in temperatures which reached a high of just below 23 degrees – but felt much warmer. The highest recorded temperature in the UK was St James’ Park, London on Sunday which reached 27 degrees.
But be prepared for quite a dramatic change over the next few days.

Hide AdEllie Creed, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: ‘It’s been a lovely weekend with a high in Gosport of 22.6 degrees.
‘It probably felt warmer because of the warm on-shore breeze coming in from France.
‘Unfortunately, it’s not going to last.
‘In Portsmouth we’re expecting some rain overnight.
‘This will become quite heavy on Monday and throughout Tuesday.’
