Good morning all,

Not only is it the end of the working week (for many), but today looks set to be an absolutely beautiful day.

Here’s your morning traffic, travel and weather update to get your Friday started on the right path.

Weather

As I said before, today is going to be hot. Temperatures are expected to reach 25C around London and Hertfordshire, with unbroken sunshine predicted throughout the day.

Traffic

On the M25 clockwise the exit slip road at J23 for the A1(M) is closed due to an overturned lorry on the roundabout at Bignells Corner. Firefighters were called out to deal with the subsequent oil spill. Traffic is currently queuing back to J22 (St Albans).

Rail

Normal service has resumed on the Metropolitan Line following an early signal failure.
