Leeds hour-by-hour weather: Sunny and warm day predicted before thunderstorms set to hit city

Leeds once more got to enjoy a warm summer day on Thursday as temperatures reached 26C. And as luck will have it, today Friday (August 11) is looking to remain much in the same fashion, albeit with somewhat lower temperatures.

While clouds are set to linger for most of the day, Leeds will enjoy plenty of sunshine with temperatures reaching 23C in the early afternoon.

As the evening approaches, the clouds are expected to disperse, leaving a sunny and clear evening and night into Saturday.

The sunny and dry weather is quickly predicted to change, however, as thunderstorms are forecast to strike in Leeds by lunchtime Saturday and are expected to last throughout much of the afternoon, according to BBC Weather.
