SUMMER has come to the south at last – and this weekend is predicted to be the hottest of the year so far.

Hampshire will be drenched in sunshine pushing temperatures up to 27C (81F) in places tomorrow.

Yesterday people were making the most of what was the hottest day of the year so far and tourist attractions are preparing for a bumper weekend.

Met Office forecasters were predicting Hampshire was likely to return to lower, more seasonal temperatures into next week.
