The weather has taken a glorious turn in the last few days and it feels like Spring has landed as much-missed sunshine makes a welcome return.
Temperatures reached peaks of 11°C on Tuesday and are due to continue to grow as the week goes on, with highs of 14°C today (Wednesday) and 16°C tomorrow.
Our photographer visited the beautiful Roundhay Park to capture pictures of people making the most of the return of spring by cycling, running and getting pictures in the park.
Check out his photos in the gallery below.

As the evening sun starts to lower it casts long shadows over the ground, silhouetting people as they walk between the bare trees which are now in the early stages of producing leaves for the new season. | James Hardisty
