Yorkshire heatwave: Daily weather forecast in Leeds, York, Sheffield, Bradford, Harrogate and Hull as temperatures set to soar to 30C this week
A heatwave is set to hit Yorkshire this week as temperatures will soar to 30C - here is an hour by hour weather forecast for the region.
The definition of a UK heatwave is an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected condition of the area at that time of year which could include high humidity.
Temperatures will rise with heatwave criteria being reached in parts of Yorkshire by the end of the week.
The heat could increase into the low 30s, although the heatwave is not expected to see temperatures quite as high as the one experienced at the end of June/early July.
Deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, Dan Holley, said: “High pressure from the Atlantic will gradually exert its influence over the UK this week. We’ll see temperatures build day-on-day, with the potential for hot conditions to become quite widespread by the end of the week and into the weekend.
“On Wednesday, temperatures could reach up to 28°C in parts of England, climbing to 30°C on Thursday and 32°C by Friday. By this stage, heatwave criteria are likely to be met in parts of England and Wales, and in parts of Scotland over the weekend.
“High temperatures are likely to persist into the weekend, especially away from coasts with onshore winds, reaching the low 30s in portions of England and Wales, and accompanied by rising humidity and warmer nights.
“This heatwave is likely to last longer than previous ones so far this summer, and affect a wider area, with the focus for some of the highest temperatures displaced across more central and western areas at times. In addition, pollen and UV levels will also be very high in some areas.”
