TEMPERATURES are set to rise in Bradford as July draws to a close.
This afternoon, the Met Office said temperatures are forecast to hit 25C in the city on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - with plenty of sunny spells to enjoy and no rain expected.
It comes after a disappointing summer so far in terms of the weather.
David Hayter, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "As we go through the weekend, the jet stream will weaken to the west of the UK generating an area of high pressure that will slowly move in across the UK.
"High pressure means the air is sinking from higher in the atmosphere and that brings drier, settled and sunnier weather.
"Temperatures will rise too."
But what goes up must come down.
According to the current Met Office forecast, temperatures in Bradford are expected to fall to 23C on Thursday and Friday, then 20C on Saturday.
August - which begins on Thursday - is the final month of summer meteorologically.
