After weeks of grey and soggy gloom, the British public were finally able to put their winter coats away with confidence when the late May bank holiday weekend arrived. Bank Holiday Monday was recorded by the Met Office as the hottest day of the year so far, and the heat continued into Tuesday – the first day of meteorological summer. A nation of pasty legs scampered to the nearest parks and beaches to enjoy the long-awaited sunshine.
Just before midday on Tuesday, BBC News tweeted some footage captured by its helicopter of people swimming in a transparent pool built between two skyscrapers with the caption: “Swimmers enjoy warm weather in London at the Sky Pool, which is believed to be the world’s first transparent pool built between two skyscrapers.”
