Bedford named hottest place in the UK (so far)
Here is an achievement to work up a sweat over - Bedford has been named as the hottest place in the country on the hottest day of the year.
Temperatures of 34.4°C have been reported - or 94°F.
Fortunately we are still a few degrees below the hottest-ever day recroded in the UK, when Faversham in Kent reached a (frankly terrifying) 38.5°C.
