While many in the UK were enjoying the hottest day of the year, it wasn't such a sweaty day in other parts of the country on Tuesday.

The warmest September day since 1911 was recorded in Gravesend, Kent, where it reached 34.4C.

But 230 miles away, the Champions League match between Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach was called off due to heavy rain.

With 32.4mm of rainfall in an hour the match had to be moved to Wednesday.

And of course, surf's always up in Cornwall...
