Temperatures have climbed to 28 degrees in the city centre - that’s hotter than in Istanbul in Turkey.

The heatwave coincided with Kirkstall Festival, the first in three years, as well as dance music festival Newsam Park and an NHS DJ fundraiser at Sheaf Street.

And the sunny weather is set to continue this week, with highs of 29C degrees expected on Monday.

As the sun beat down, we sent a reporter to test the question that's on everyone's mind: Is it hot enough to cook an egg on the pavement in Leeds?

Watch them find out.
