Summer could finally be here for residents in south-east London and north Kent, as forecasters predict what could be the hottest day of the year so far.

The first three days of the week look set to bring uninterrupted sunshine to the south, with highs of 29C. on Wednesday.

Forecasters predict that by 9am tomorrow temperatures will already have reached 20C.

For the sun worshipers out there, peak hours for sunbathing will be between 1 and 4pm this week when the mercury is set to rocket.

The warm weather is set to continue into Thursday and Friday, with forecasted highs of 22C. but with less sunshine and the possibility of clouds.
