Local beaches have been busy as the Burnham-On-Sea area experienced its hottest day of the year so far on Saturday (September 9th) as the late summer heatwave continued.

Temperatures in the Burnham-On-Sea area reached a sweltering 29.7°C (85°F) on Saturday at 3.37pm.  On Sunday (September 10th), temperatures reached a peak of 27.3°C (81.1°F) at 2.38pm.

These were the busy scenes in Burnham on Saturday when families flocked to the beach to enjoy the balmy weather and many took cooling paddles in the sea.

Council beach wardens said it had been one of the busiest days of the year on the beaches in Burnham, Berrow and Brean.

Brean beach was busy too with hundreds of motorists paying to park on the beach, pictured below.

After overnight rain early today, The Met Office predicts temperatures in the Burnham-On-Sea area will be cooler from Monday.
