An interesting comment from an RAC spokesman at the end of this short AOL piece!
Temperatures rose to 27.8C (82F) today - the hottest day of the year so far, Met Office weather forecasters said.
London and other parts of south east England, Cambridgeshire, East Anglia and the Midlands have seen the highest temperatures, while Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland have missed out on the sunshine.
A Met Office spokesman said: "I think it's squeaked it as the hottest day of the year, although we can't validate it yet.
"It may even have risen a couple of points higher than the 27.8C recorded at the London Weather Centre."
But the heat does not appear to have sent Britons flocking to the coast, according to motoring organisation the RAC.
"The roads have been comparatively quiet," said an RAC spokesman. "People are really thinking about whether their journeys are necessary and trying to economise on fuel while prices are so high." source
