It could be the hottest day of the year so far.

And Hull could see temperatures of 27C on Saturday as the so-called 'heatwave from Hell' arrives in the UK.

The high pressure has led to record-breaking temperatures across Europe, with France seeing astonishing highs of more than 44C.

While the south east of the UK is likely to see the mercury rising well into the thirties on Saturday, in Hull it will be a pleasant 27C.

It would still make it the hottest day so far in our region.

As well as bringing summery weather , the high pressure dominating the weather has also been affecting TV signals for hundreds of people across Hull. You can read more about that here.
