Scorched Britain could record its hottest day of the year so far today as temperatures soar past 90F (32C). The country is in the midst of its longest heatwave since 1976, with today set to be the 12th day in a row that temperatures have hit at least 84.4F (29.1C) somewhere - and there are no signs of any let up. If the mercury gets above 91.4F (33C) - mostly likely in the South East of England today - it will break the current record for the warmest day of 2018, which was set on June 28 at Portmadog in North Wales. It comes after a West Berkshire Council bin lorry got stuck in Newbury yesterday after the road melted beneath it (left). Meanwhile a koi carp called 'Big White Fish' (bottom right) was rushed into a vet in Burton-on-Trent after getting burnt in the hot weather.
