IT'S A HOT SPELL

UK set for sunshine all the way to Halloween

- STEVE HUGHES

BRITAIN could bask in the hottest day of 2023 this week with the sunshine set to last until Halloween.

Forecasters reckon the 32.2C set on June 25 will be beaten on either Wednesday or Thursday, when we're likely to see 33C.

It will be even hotter than Thailand thanks to a 500-mile wide African heat blast.

Weather maps for next week show not a single cloud will cover the UK at certain points.
