Temperatures are set to soar today, as our normally rainy capital city becomes hotter than Barcelona. 

The Met Office has predicted today will reach 30 degrees in London and the South East, and even suggested maximum temperatures of 32 degrees in places. 

In contrast, Barcelona is not expected to get above 29 degrees. 

It's going to be a hot evening across the capital as well, with a minimum temperature of 20 degrees, with a chance of rain in some areas.
