Hull sizzles in summer temperatures
The city is today enjoying temperatures on a par with European holiday hotspots as the predicted warm spell continues.
The mercury reached a high of 18 degrees - the same as in Alicante, Spain and Faro, Portugal.
-
Hull has seen summer temperatures over the past two days
It also meant Hull was hotter than Corfu, where it is 14 degrees and raining, and Malta, where it is a cloudy 16 degrees.
As reported, the Met Office is forecasting unseasonably warm weather for East Yorkshire between now and Friday.

“18 degrees...brhhh! It was a very pleasant 30 degrees here yesterday. Also, if it is 'sizzling' why is the man in the picture wearing a shirt, jumper and coat (there's probably a vest under that lot too!). Not only is this not newsworthy, HDM couldn't even try to add credibility to the story by attaching a reasonably relevant picture. What will happen when the temperature 'soars' into the mid 20s. I fear the 'reporters' at HDM will be checking their online thesaurus and using words like scorcher, heatwave and meltdown.”
