Britain is enjoying the hottest day of the year so far today with temperatures set to reach higher than in Greece and Italy.

Forecasters said the mercury is expected to rise as high as 24C, possibly even 25C, in much of England, while in Rome and Athens it is anticipated to be in the low 20s.

Retailers are bracing themselves for a run on BBQ food while thousands of people are likely to flock to beaches and parks to make the most of the sunshine before it becomes more unsettled next week.
