How cold will it get in Leeds this weekend as Arctic air to sweep across UK
Watch the latest Met Office video forecast, as cold Arctic air is to sweep across the UK.
The Met Office says cold Arctic air will sweep across the UK bringing cold temperatures this weekend.
As Storm Benjamin moves away, there will be a change in wind direction, drawing in a northerly flow and bringing cold arctic air across the country. This will cause temperatures to drop sharply, with brisk, strong winds making it feel particularly raw and chilly going into the weekend.
Chris Bulmer, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “As Storm Benjamin clears the UK and heads towards Denmark late tomorrow [Friday] cold Arctic air will sweep across the country, bringing a noticeably chilly weekend as temperatures fall below average.
“Although many areas will see dry weather with sunny spells, it will feel cold in the brisk northerly winds. Showers are expected in the north and west, some of these falling as snow over Scottish mountains.”
