Love this very optimistic headline. 18 C - 19 C is fine - but it's not basking sunshine

Brits head to the beaches to enjoy the sunshine as the country basks in 19C heat but rain is expected to sweep across the nation tonight.

After a chilly start in the morning, the south west of England has enjoyed balmy weather with people making the most of the weather by heading outside.

Large crowds of sun-worshippers have been spotted on Lyme Regis beach in Dorset, where temperatures could go as high 18C. The highest temperature of the day is expected to be on the Isle of Wight where the mercury could rise to a warm but pleasant 19C.

19 is plenty hot. It was that here today. We had a picnic. Counted as basking to me.

19 is fine. But it's not basking.

It's pleasant

Heating is on, we are not even in a colder part of the country

I’m in Surrey and it’s been cold today (in my opinion)

Mail is being ironic surely...

If it was 29 on the other hand....

I wore a jumper on my beach walk today and put the heating on for 20 mins when i got home!

Basking my (cold) arse.

I’m in the north west and it’s 9 degrees here. I’ve got the heating on - in June

Well, it's 12c and miserable in the NW, as you say hardly basking!
