Watch the latest Met Office video forecast, as winds of up to 50mph are forecast for Leeds.
The Met Office is forecasting rain and high winds for Leeds in the coming days.
The forecaster has named a deep area of low-pressure Storm Amy - the first named storm of the 2025/26 season.
Storm Amy is expected to develop rapidly as it approaches the UK on Friday October 3, bringing very strong winds and heavy rain to many northern and western areas.
The forecaster says Storm Amy’s evolution is being closely monitored, with its development influenced by the remnants of Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda over the tropical Atlantic. These systems have accelerated the jet stream, contributing to the formation and intensification of Storm Amy.
