The scorching weather has caused a school to cancel its sports day.
Christchurch Primary School, in Wellesley Road, Ilford, was due to hold the event today, but made the decision with temperatures expected to soar to highs of 33C in the town.
A spokesman for the school said the day has been rescheduled for July 15.
