Temperatures look set to fall across Kent with rain expected to hit the county from tomorrow.

For the first time ever in September, the Met Office reported six days of hot weather as temperatures exceeded 30C for many throughout the country.

The scorching conditions led to thousands heading to beaches in Kent to enjoy the glorious sunshine.

However, the Met Office says temperatures look set to drop, with highs of 25C expected today and much-needed rainfall tomorrow.

Initial spots of rain are predicted to hit Kent from about 11.30am tomorrow and last for the remainder of the day.
