As temperatures soar today, Gravesend has been declared the hottest place in the country.

The Met Office tweeted earlier that a temperature of 23.2°C was recorded at 11.44am.

That has since increased to 24.6°C early this afternoon.

Sadly the week's scorching weather is not set to continue tomorrow, as temperatures cool and clouds spread across much of south east London and north Kent.
