Phew wot a scorcher!

It’s official, Titchfield is the hottest place in the country.

The BBC have just announced that the hottest place in the country is Gosport with 24.2C while our picture shows Titchfield is baking at 24.5C and it’s only 11am.

The Met Office also confirmed that today is the hottest May Bank holiday since the long weekend was introduced in 1978. The previous national highest May Bank holiday was 23.6C on May 3rd 1999.

So, get out there and enjoy the sunshine but, remember to use sun cream to lower your risk of sunburn and skin cancer.

Take heed of Baz Luhrmann’s advice from his 1997 hit, ‘Everybody’d Free to Wear Sunscreen’.
