In Leeds, weather will hit highs of 29 on Tuesday, but Sheffield's best weather will be on Wednesday with 30 degree heat.

This weekend's weather

This weekend is expected to be largely dry and settled but less warm, with temperatures only hitting about 22 degrees.

In the meantime, there could be some thunder and lightning.
