Blazing hot Britain! while UK braces for warmest day EVER when Tropical Thursday arrives with 102F tomorrow

Britain is roasting in a heatwave that has melted roads and threatens to buckle train tracks - before things get even hotter tomorrow amid temperatures of up to 102F (39C) that would bring the country's hottest day on record. While thousands of sun-loving Britons have flocked to the beaches

and parks today, the heatwave has already claimed the lives of two swimmers in Gloucestershire and London. The searing temperatures are even forcing desperate councils to consider sending out gritter trucks in a bid to stop roads 'melting like chocolate'. London commuters struggled in stifling 93F (34C) heat on the tubes this morning, exceeding EU laws on the acceptable temperatures for transporting cattle, at 86F (30C).
