IT is official, today could be the hottest day of the year so far.
Temperatures have already reached as high as 20 degrees, which means we are enjoying the warmest day in March for five years.
Parts of Britain will be bathing in up to 22 degrees of heat, rivaling Spanish holiday resorts, such as Las Palmas.
It has been the perfect day for the new street food market 'Feastival' in Forbury Gardens, which runs from Thursday to Saturday, April 1.
Oh, and Blue Collar’s Feastival in Forbury Gardens looks very nice. This might be the best day for it #tshirtweather

Temperatures have soared over the past few days as we see a dramatic change from the drizzly winter weather and enter Springtime.
Weather today reached heights of 20 degrees in London this afternoon.
Unfortunately this heat wave is not set to last with temperatures expected to plummet again in the coming days.
Other areas of Britain have not been so lucky with parts of Scotland suffering from 10 degree lows.
