Bradford could bask in its warmest day of the year today - with temperatures higher than Cyprus, Crete and Barcelona!
Temperatures are expected to reach 17C in the city this afternoon. This will beat yesterday's high of 16C, which saw revellers enjoy the sunshine in City Park.
But today is set to be the end of Bradford's spring heatwave as temperatures will cool off and drop to 10C tomorrow, with rain expected on Sunday.
In other parts of Yorkshire and the Humber, the temperature could reach as high as 20C.
Forecasters believe there is a good chance that the peak of 20.7C (69F) recorded in Aberdeenshire on Easter Sunday will be beaten today.
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said many areas will see the mild conditions experienced across the UK over recent days continue, with temperatures at around 19C (66F) or 20C (68F).
