Garden of England basks in glorious sunshine as heat peaks. Thursday brings mainly clear skies across Kent, with temperatures climbing into the low 30s inland while the coast stays cooler. Maidstone will be hottest at 34°C, but even Dover’s sea breeze keeps things milder at 27°C—perfect for beach trips. Virtually no rain expected anywhere, and winds remain light at around 18 km/h, so it’s a beautiful day to be outside.
