Hottest February day ever in Bradford

    The hottest February day in Bradford since records began saw the mercury hitting over 18 degrees centigrade.

    The temperature reached 18.5 degrees at the Met Office's weather station in Bingley at 1.00pm on Tuesday afternoon (26 February).

    The figure is believed to be a record for the district and possibly for the county, with the previous record for Yorkshire at 18 degrees.
