Leeds will see highs of 17C this week as the sun shines every day across the city - with a dry and bright week ahead on the whole.

There is currently no rain forecast for the entirety of the week - perfect for those who are planning on being out and about and enjoying being allowed to socialise outdoors.

Through a mixture of blue skies and sunshine and sunny spells with spouts of cloud throughout, it will be a spring-like week.

It will feel colder later in the evenings though, with lows of around 1C in the early hours of the morning each day.

In Leeds, the sun will set at 8.14pm on Monday, getting two minutes later each night and reaching 8.22pm on Friday, meaning it will be light for longer while eating or drinking outside.
