Scousers, workers and day trippers have reacted to the extreme heat in Liverpool.
The city recorded its hottest ever day with temperatures soaring to 35 degrees. It comfortably beat the previous peak of 33.4 degrees on 2 August 1990.
The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for Merseyside, alerting people to change their plans to protect themselves. The ECHO went out into the city centre to see how people were coping with the heatwave.
