Any showers which affected parts of the Southeast today into tonight will clear and this should leave a fine, dry and fairly bright Saturday though considerably cooler and less humid than today has been.

Though we await the official high from the Met Office, the temperature has topped at least 31C (88F) today around London making this the […]
Well I think we can all pretty much agree on where August is going when it comes to the average Plains temps!
