Wednesday, April 9 was the hottest day of the year so far as temperatures rose to 21C across the country.
People in Yorkshire were making the most of the heat, lounging around the mirror pool in Bradford, shopping in Leeds, exploring the tulips at Farmer Copleys Tulip Festival and rowing in Knaresborough.
Here are some of the best photos of the region.
