This year is set to be the hottest since records began in the late 19th century. Britain recorded its warmest September day in more than 100 years on Tuesday with temperatures rising to over 34 degrees Celsius in the southern county of Kent. The Met Office said on its Twitter page the town of Gravesend recorded a temperature of 34.4 degrees Celsius (93.92°Fahrenheit), making it the hottest day of the year. London's Heathrow airport and Kew Gardens recorded temperatures of 32.8 Celsius, The Met said earlier. "So although they are quite hardy when it comes to warm weather, it is always nice to give them an option to cool down."
