It's definitely time to get that sun screen out as Gravesend is officially one of the hottest places in the UK today.

Temperatures reached 28.6C this afternoon, making it Kent's warmest September 30 ever!

The Kent town was the hottest place in the country, until temperatures soared to a sizzling 29.2C in Cambridge.

The previous record was 27.8C, which was recorded in Maidenhead in Berkshire in 1908.

Gravesend has a history of being one of the warmest places in the county.

In August 2003, it briefly held the record for the highest temperature ever recorded in history.

But the very same year it was pushed out of the spotlight by Brogdale, also in Kent, where temperatures rose to a scorching 38.5C (101F) compared to 38.1C (100.6F) in Gravesend.
