Police and council officers are patrolling the seafront in Bournemouth and Poole as thousands descend on the towns' beaches on the UK's hottest day of the year.

By 09:00 BST roads were gridlocked and a mobile app to aid social distancing on the beaches was showing red in three areas - meaning "avoid".

In June, a major incident was declared in Bournemouth because of the crowds.

Concerns have also been raised about the number of people in Brighton.

Brighton and Hove City Council said large numbers were making it "impossible to maintain physical distancing".

And in Kent, Thanet District Council said some of its most popular beaches were full.

They're very tight, I'd have to drag my nuts over the coals to get them to catch.

While it has being hit here in Oxfordshire there has being a bit of a breeze and now I’m enjoying a beer in the garden (can’t quite bring myself to going to the pub quite yet sadly being in a town their is somewhat of a lack of picturesque beer gardens)

I thought roasted nuts was a winter thing.

Bet Nat King Cole wasnt thinking of Linalmeemow when he sang, 'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire'

Few spots of rain in south Warrington but it's been over 30C here earlier. Should clear for me to light the barbi. Chicken tikka, then the wok for the curry sauce and then Naan all barbied.

Sounds lovely I’m doing ramen noodles with pork, when you don’t have to go anywhere the hot weather isn’t too bad.

I have been social distancing from my beer supplies....but that will soon stop..

It was a hot and hilly bike ride round the Peak District, chocka at the honey traps of course but I avoided all but one. Very hilly ride and was hot with the wind behind, but a lovely ride past Thor's cave and over The Morridge with views into Cheshire and into Wales.
It was a bit hot for bottling to, but I have bottled 9 Litres from a 10 Litre batch of English IPA, hit my FG of 1.016 bang on, pH of 4.27 and it tastes good for warm flat young beer. Washed up and I'm glad that's out of the way now and can relax with a beer or two.

38° C here around Bruges today, in the shadow. On such days we install the mobile airco and stay inside, reading a book and listening to music.

Concerns have also been raised about the number of people in Brighton.

Brighton and Hove City Council said large numbers were making it "impossible to maintain physical distancing".

And in Kent, Thanet District Council said some of its most popular beaches were full.

Meteorologists said temperatures recorded at Heathrow had reached 37.8C (100.04F), making it the third warmest day ever recorded in the UK.

Dorset Police said its officers would be working longer shifts and some had their rest days cancelled to cope with the anticipated influx of visitors over the summer.

By 11:00 traffic marshals were already turning people away from Sandbanks car park and residents were urging the council to close the road.

By mid afternoon, nearly all of the seven-mile stretch of beach between Poole Harbour and Highcliffe was marked as red on the council's beach app, meaning "avoid, safe social distancing not possible".

Dorset Council said car parks at Lulworth and Durdle Door, on the Jurassic Coast, were also full and urged visitors to go elsewhere.

Yvonne Jones, 66, who has been a beach hut holder in Poole for 35 years, said: "There shouldn't be this many people here - but Boris [the prime minister] should have made sure people stayed in their own counties.

"The traffic is horrendous - I live locally and it was a nightmare to get here. It's the locals who end up suffering."

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council leader Vikki Slade said the towns were ready to welcome visitors "with open arms" but marshals had been deployed at car parks along with extra security officers, first aiders and additional traffic management systems.

Went to the beach on the south coast today. Camber Sands is absolutely massive when the tide is out so we decided to try it. We arrived at 9.30 and the car park was about a third full and plenty of space on the beach. That was just past high tide so the beach kept getting bigger. When we left at 2 there was a three mile queue of traffic waiting for space in closed car parks! The beach was still fine, perfectly possible to distance and people seemed to be behaving well.
