A similar location - but a year apart! It's been exactly 12 months since parts of Yorkshire hit 40C:
Record-breaking temperatures have been recorded across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.The 36.8C recorded at Coningsby in Lincolnshire beat the county's previous record of 36.3C at Cranwell in 2019.
Meanwhile, Sheffield recorded a temperature of 35.9C on Monday, beating its previous high of 35.6C set in 2019, while Bramham Park in West Yorkshire reached 35.1C . Its previous high was 33.5C The Met Office has issued a "red" extreme heat warning on Monday and Tuesday with temperatures forecast to hit up to 41C .The impact on travel will continue on Tuesday, with the East Coast Main Line closing in the afternoon for all locations between York, Leeds and London.
TransPennine said services between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield were suspended "until further notice". Jake Kelly, spokesman for Network Rail, warned of travel disruption across the country due to the heatwave, and cautioned that services returning to normal on Wednesday "will depend on the damage that the weather does to the infrastructure".
"We're spending hundreds of millions of pounds a year on making the railway more resilient but ultimately faced with weather like we've never faced before, the infrastructure will suffer so we've had to put in place arrangements," said Mr Kelly. In Leeds, waste and recycling centres closed early on Monday, with the same on Tuesday, with the exception of the Kirkstall site which will open as normal. The council said it was to reduce risk to staff and to "mitigate risks from potentially combustible materials".
