    England basks in its hottest October day on record

    The AP reports:

    The U.K.'s national weather service the Met Office says Saturday's temperature reached 85.8 F (29.9 C) at Gravesend in southeast England.

    That is the highest October temperature since records began a century ago, beating the previous high of 84.9 F (29.4 C) reached on Oct. 4, 1985.

    The average maximum temperature for early October is about 59 F (15 C).
