Finningley in Doncaster reached 40C today.
Overnight figures show the temperature at Emley Moor, near Huddersfield, reached 25.9C , the highest night-time figure recorded in the UK.
Northern Powergrid said the extreme temperatures were causing a "higher than usual number of faults on our network", including sagging conductors and overheating transformers. Its Hull to Manchester Piccadilly route and Huddersfield to Leeds stopping service would also not run on Tuesday, it said.Temperatures like this were meant to be in decades to come.For years, climate scientists have been on the wrong end of at times vicious attacks from climate sceptics, who claimed the whole climate change issue was overblown or even a hoax.
Services were expected to return on Wednesday, Supertram said, apart from a section between Halfway and Birley Lane. Yorkshire Water said it was dealing with the highest levels of water usage across its supply area since 2006.
