Travel update: Hot weather this week

Monday 22 June 2026

High temperatures are forecast across South Yorkshire this week, with an amber heat health alert in place on Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June.

At the moment, all Supertram services are running as normal and we are continuing to monitor the weather forecast closely.

However, if temperatures continue to rise during the week, the heat could affect parts of the tram network and some changes to services may be needed. This could include short-notice delays, speed restrictions or cancellations to help keep passengers and colleagues safe.

Hot weather can affect tram infrastructure, including tracks and overhead power equipment, which can impact the way services operate.

If any changes are required, we will keep customers updated as quickly as possible through our Travel Alerts webpage and social media channels.

Travelling to events

If you’re heading to the WWE European Summer Tour at the Utilita Arena Sheffield on Wednesday, or other events during the week, Supertram services are currently running as normal. 

We're continuing to monitor the weather forecast throughout the week and will keep customers updated if any changes to services are needed.

Before you travel

If you're travelling during the hot weather, please:

• Allow extra time for your journey

• Check for the latest travel updates before you set off

• Stay hydrated and carry water where possible

• Seek shade while waiting at tram stops

• Plan ahead using our Journey Planner

• Take extra care if travelling with young children, older relatives or anyone who may be more vulnerable in the heat
