Residents in Yate were left feeling the heat at bedtime last night when a power cut in the area meant fans fro keeping cool were a non-starter.

Power in Yate went off around 10.30pm last night with many homes in the area without electricity for just over an hour.

This morning a number of residents reported issues with WiFi they presumed to be connected to the outage.

Western Power Distribution tweeted to apologise for any inconvenience.
