BRADFORD is set to get hotter later this week as “more summer-like” conditions are expected, according to the Met Office.

It comes after temperatures so far this month have been a few degrees below their seasonal average.

The UK experienced its coolest first 10 days of the month since 2020 - in contrast to the hottest June on record, seen this time last year.

Bradfordians can enjoy sunny temperatures of 20C from this Thursday.

This weather is predicted to last right through the weekend.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will remain cloudy but still warm at 18C.

Oli Claydon, spokesman for the Met Office, said: “As we progress through June, obviously the temperatures are going to generally increase on average anyway, but it will feel more summer-like, especially in the sunshine.

“The absence of wind over the next couple of days will help as well.”

Mr Claydon added: “It’s not unusual to have cooler interludes or cooler starts to some months but this was a below-average start to June for sure, and temperatures (are) starting to return back towards what people would expect for this time of year.”
