More than 200 arrive in small boats today as migrants make most of record-breaking May heat
GB News can exclusively reveal the arrival of 220 small-boat migrants today, as record-breaking May heat brings a surge in crossings.
Today's arrivals bring the total figure since Friday up to 903, with fears that more vessels could attempt the crossing this week as hot weather is expected to continue.
The first boat saw 65 migrants arrive just after 6:30am.
The second set of arrivals comprised 83 people on board the Border Force vessel Ranger, including 15 women and 7 children, according to the GB News' provisional figures.
Another Border Force vessel, Defender, docked in the early afternoon, bringing Sunday's total to 220.
Today marks the third of at least four days of sunny weather as UK authorities prepare for an influx of migrants exploiting the warm spell.
Temperatures have soared above 30C in some areas across Britain over the Bank Holiday weekend.
On Saturday, Frittenden, Kent, saw temperatures reach 30.5C on the warmest day of the year so far.
