IT'S near 30 degress across Somerset today, with the hot weather expected to last until later this week.

We want to know what you're up to in our glorious county as the sun shines on. 

It's currently hotter in Taunton than Tenerife and Turkey, hotter in Bridgwater than Bulgaria, and hotter in Chard than Chile. 

Have you found any Somerset beauty spots to soak up the sun, or if you're just chilling in your garden with a paddling pool out.

Let us know what you're up to by sending in your photos.
