Sunday set to be hottest day of year so far

You —

Sunday is set to be the hottest day so far this year and temperatures may hit 30C, the BBC weather centre predicts.

The previous high for 2010 was on 24 May, when it reached 28.8C at Heathrow Airport.

The prediction comes as millions are set to watch England play Germany in the World Cup and Glastonbury festival-goers bask in the sun.

"The heat just continues to build and build and Sunday could be its peak," BBC forecaster Dan Corbett said.

The hot weather has been caused by an area of low pressure to the north-west of the UK which is allowing warm air to travel in from southern Europe.

"There could be some cloud and showers across parts of north-west Britain and even some thunder. The south-east of England up to Birmingham will see the highest temperatures," the BBC forecaster said.

My friend invited me for a barbecue, and I'm vegetarian which means just a social. I do know vegetarians who are grateful for a barbecued chunk of aubergine or something but I don't know how to be that vegetarian. Then it wasn't about the social, or the football either, because after the England game nobody was in the mood, which is annoying because Argentina-Mexico was a big fixture I had wanted to watch. So I just walked for hours in the gorgeous sunshine. This is a summer worth waking rising early for, a chipper-maker of a summer.
