A Leeds school has urged students to stay at home on Monday and Tuesday as the Met Office issue a rare red alert for extreme heat.
For the first time ever, a red alert has been issued for extreme heat, which means there is a strong risk of loss of life. The Met Office has warned that the "exceptional hot spell" could lead to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure and lead to serious illness.
The red alert, which covers Leeds on both days, has led to some schools closing in England and others taking measures such as urging pupils not to wear full uniform.
