Leeds weather: Mist warning ahead of return to work in Leeds in Met Office forecast
Leeds commuters heading into work this morning are being warned of misty conditions.
The week is set for a misty start, the Met Office has said. The latest forecast is also predicting a brief return to warmer conditions today (March 9) as well.
Commuters may have to pay extra attention on the roads across the city when driving into work this morning. It comes after a warning of ‘blood rain’ last week.
Highs of 14C are expected in Leeds over the coming hours before things turn cooler again over the next few days. The sunshine could even make a return by midweek.
Rain showers could follow the mist this afternoon, the Met Office has warned. The misty conditions are also predicted to return just in time for the evening rush hour as well.
In its look ahead for the coming week, the forecaster said: “Breezier through Tuesday, with best of cloud breaks and sunshine across eastern areas. Remaining damp with possible rain over the Pennines, this might become more persistent and heavier later. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
“Wednesday, early rain clearing, then colder, brighter with blustery showers. Thursday, windy with showers, perhaps more persistent rain. Friday, less windy with sunshine and showers. Temperatures near normal.”
Further down the line, the Met Office is currently predicting: “Changeable through much of this period, as Atlantic frontal systems pass close to or across the UK at times. These will bring some occasional spells of rain or showers, most frequent in the west and northwest, and perhaps accompanied by strong winds.
“However, there should also be some drier interludes under transient ridges of high pressure, with longer dry periods most likely in the south and east, though even here some wet weather is likely at times.
“Temperatures will be near-average for the period as a whole, but with some shorter-duration colder interludes at times when frost and hill snow will be possible. Later in the period there may be a transition to more blocked or slower evolving weather patterns, though confidence in the detail of this is rather low.”
