While the ongoing heatwave has seen Leeds residents enjoying basking in sun, many have been left "heartbroken" after a series of wild fires have been reported.
On Monday afternoon, when temperatures raked up to 37C across the county, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue attended 53 incidents. The hot temperatures have started wild fires which saw smoke clouds over the city, as well as smoke from BBQ's started in parks and gardens.
While these fires have become depressingly familiar in some parts of the world, most of Britain is just waking up to the reality of extreme weather that’s exacerbated by humanmade climate change.
