    Even though it’s due to reach 29C (84F), some of the staff at the Great Yorkshire Show are still dressed in the formal attire of dark suits and bowler hats.

    Sunglasses and sunscreen are definitely the order of the day for humans. Ice cream sellers are doing a roaring trade and the queue to refill water bottles is 20-deep.

    For those on four legs, I’ve seen animals being hosed down or even given their own fans to help keep them cool.

    The parched showground tells its own story of the lack of rain, and the hot weather is due to continue into the weekend.

    There may be some showers at the start of next week, but that won’t be enough to end the hosepipe ban for Yorkshire Water customers.
