Manchester is set to be hotter than Los Angeles and other popular holiday destinations this weekend following an amber heat warning.
Forecasters predict that large parts of Greater Manchester will see temperatures hit 29C on Saturday while Los Angeles will peak at 27C. Similarly, the mercury in both Gran Canaria and Istanbul will hit 28C, falling short of Manchester's blistering heat.
It comes as the Met Office today issued a 92-hour amber 'extreme heat' warning for parts of Greater Manchester from Thursday until Sunday. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also extended its heat-health alert from today until Sunday.
