A hospital said some of its MRI scanners were "not operational" due to the current high level of heat and humidity.
Scans at Bedford South Wing Hospital are being postponed as the MRI machines cannot be safely operated, Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said.
A spokesperson added: "This is as a result of the older cooling systems at our aging site not being able to achieve the required temperature and humidity levels."
The trust is contacting patients affected by the delays and said it would reschedule appointments as soon as "the situation stabilises".
"Our scanners at the Bedford North Wing Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) and our Luton and Dunstable University Hospital (L&D) sites are unaffected and remain fully operational," the trust said.

Imagine the germs growing in these Petri dish hospitals.
Figured they’d need permission from the king to run any kind of cooling unit.
Imagine having to was three months for your MRI to determine the extent of your cancer…only to have the appointment canceled because its hot out.
Say all you want about the health care systems in the US…but our AC works most of the time.
I wonder how Diddly Squat is doing.......
It gets quite hot here in S.E. Missouri but I’ve never heard of local hospitals having to shut down their MRI units. But then the hospitals (and all but the very poorest of us have something called ‘air conditioning’. Brits attending the soccer games here can tell them all about it when they get home.
And the monthly tax to The Crown to keep that permission chartered.
so we can operate MRI machines 24/7 in Louisiana and Mississippi but they cant figure it out in the UK? Hopeless
Western Civilization in the 21st century is not how I envisioned it as a kid.
Gee Whizzzz
Those ACs help us with our tyranny.
By letting in the hordes of replacement voters England today would rank among our poorest states. With that they are propping up Government health care. It is no wonder the equipment is breaking down
Good ol’ Airstrip One
The whole world looks up to the marvel that is Britain 2026
What a train wreck. How the mighty Empire has fallen.
How long did British subjects have to wait for an MRI scan before the heat wave?
If the powers dat be can’t kill their NATIVE countrymen with fauxinnes, illegals or taxes, they’ll kill ‘em by withholding healthcare. One way or another, these politicians want the natives gone
I know of MRI machines operating right now in South Africa. England as a third world country, who would have thought?
I’m sitting right there with you with the same expression on my face. Just wow!
