Britons swelter on the hottest April day since 1949 as sunseekers flock to beaches and parks to make the most of 82F heatwave (and ignore those warnings to stay indoors because of a toxic plume)
Temperatures soared to 82.2F (27.9C) today on what is officially the hottest April day for almost 70 years
Experts predict warm conditions are likely to last for the rest of the month - well above the normal average
London's Heathrow Airport reached 78.3F at noon today - making it the hottest day of the year so far
Runners planning to don fancy dress for the London Marathon on Sunday are being urged to reconsider
1,500-mile African 'blowtorch' will pass through Europe to make the weather heat up considerably
#Heatwave was trending on Twitter yesterday in the UK as people revelled in the scorching temperatures
The highest ever April temperature was in Camden Square, which reached a toasty 29.4C back in 1949

It comes as experts warned vulnerable people to stay indoors because of high pollution levels from a toxic plume which is coming across from France and Spain.
And runners planning to don fancy dress for the London Marathon on Sunday are being urged to reconsider amid warnings it could be the hottest race on record.
