Triumph in the fashion stakes

The warm weather looks set to continue into the weekend, with

temperatures expected to hit 26C in some places – about 10C above the average for this time of year. The hottest places will be central and southern England, while sea mists will keep coastal areas cooler.

But with the country set to bask in the spring sunshine, Yorkshire Water has warned people not to be tempted to go swimming in the region's reservoirs. Unlike rivers or the sea, water in reservoirs rarely rises above 12C and this cold water can be deadly even to strong swimmers.
