Leeds weather to take dramatic turn as massive band of rain to move across UK - when could it rain in Leeds?

The Met Office has forecasted a change in the weather this week, with wetter, windier and cooler conditions expected in the UK from September 10.

The forecaster said: “Wednesday will bring a broadly wet day for many, with areas of rain and showers gradually spreading east/north-east, perhaps turning heavy on some south facing hills in Scotland in particular. Things will remain fine ahead of this in the east at first though it will turn increasingly showery, with rain not arriving until after dark. Winds will pick up a notch and may be strong around Irish Sea coasts, with the risk of gales on exposed northwestern coasts and hills in the north.

“More sunshine and blustery showers on Thursday, with the chance that some may turn heavy and thundery, particularly in the south and west. Winds will again be brisk, especially near the coast.

“Friday will be similar day to Thursday - widely breezy and cool with frequent showers in western coastal areas becoming more widespread by day before falling back to the coast by evening. There’s also the risk of thunderstorms and small hail in the heaviest showers.”

Will we see Storm Amy (the first name of the new 2025/26 storm naming list) at the weekend?

Tom Crabtree, Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “We are keeping an eye on a deepening area of low-pressure which will develop over the North Atlantic during the coming days and might bring impactful weather to the UK, most likely on Sunday and Monday.

“At present, it’s too early to say the precise impact this might have on the weather, but it’s likely to bring widespread heavy rain and strong winds, most probably to the north of the UK.

“We are closely monitoring what the various computer models are suggesting and will keep people updated as our forecasts evolve over the next few days.”
