Another record
falls... but cool
weather is on
the way at last
Stag party: Deer at Richmond Park, south-west London, coped admirably with the Bank Holiday heatwave, taking a deserved dip amid soaring temperatures
said: ‘Tuesday should be another
warm and dry day on the eastern
side of the country and, again, we
could see temperatures reaching a
maximum of 33C (91.4F) in the
South East.
‘It is due to be dry across many
parts on Tuesday but showers are
going to affect western parts dur-
ing the morning, moving into
northern England in the after-
noon, with fresher air behind. One
or two showers may be thundery.’
Tomorrow is set to bring show-
ers and longer spells of rain,
although the East is likely to
remain warm, dry and sunny.
Another ridge of high pressure is
likely to bring mostly fine, dry and
sunny weather on Thursday and
Friday, although it is set to be
cooler and breezy, with tempera-
tures peaking at 22-24C (72-75F)
in southern England.
The heatwave provided perfect
conditions for scantily clad danc-
ers at the Notting Hill Carnival.
Following 111 arrests on the first
day of the event on Sunday, police
made another 146 by 7pm yester-
day – compared with 240 on the
second day last year.
Police were given powers to stop
and search revellers after 12 offic-
ers were attacked on Sunday.
The Met imposed the Section 60
order until midnight, with Com-
mander Dave Musker saying the
decision was ‘not made lightly’.
Elsewhere, the fine weather has
been a boon for coastal resorts,
parks and outdoor attractions.
However, visitors to three seaside
towns in Essex were being warned
to stay out of the sea after a mys-
tery toxic gas scare left children
struggling to breathe.
Police are investigating the inci-
dent affecting Clacton-on-Sea,
Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-
the-Naze in Essex on Sunday
afternoon. One mother on a family
trip to Frinton said her daughter
was left ‘gasping’ for breath. The
mystery follows a similar incident
in Worthing, West Sussex, two
weeks ago.
The Maritime and Coastguard
Agency said no pollution had been
detected by surveillance aircraft
which flew over the area. Officials
said a ‘small number’ of people had
been taken to hospital for tests
after feeling unwell. Essex Police
were still advising bathers to stay
away from its beaches yesterday.
BRITAIN’S blazing Bank Holi-
day weekend came to an end
yesterday – and the hot weather
soon will, too.
The record for our warmest August
Bank Holiday Monday was shat-
tered at Heathrow, where the peak
of 33.2C (91.8F) beat the 28.2C
(82.8F) record set in Holbeach, Lin-
colnshire, two years ago.
It fell a fraction short of Sunday’s
33.3C (91.9F) August Bank Holiday
record – but still meant the airport was
hotter than Barbados (29C/84F) and
Honolulu (32C/89F).
Fahrenheit temperatures are due to
hit the 90s for a third day in a row today
before the heatwave comes to an end.
Eastern counties, the South East and
East Anglia should see the hottest
weather today while thundery showers
are forecast to arrive in the South West,
Wales and northern England.
