The recent blazing temperatures in Bradford are set to linger into the start of the school summer break, weather experts have said.

The hot spell of weather will last into next weekend when many primary and secondary schools will have finished for the year and the six-week summer holiday will stretch ahead.

Over the weekend, many Bradfordians headed for City Park to dip their feet in the water feature, with national figures showing that Saturday was the hottest day of the year so far.

But the heat prompted warnings from authorities to take care in the potentially “dangerous” conditions.

West Yorkshire ambulance bosses have asked the public to take sensible steps to avoid dialling 999.

They include drinking plenty of water, using a high-factor sun cream, wearing a hat and keeping as cool as possible.
