12 places Leeds will be hotter than in 22C heatwave - including tourism hotspots

Leeds is set to bask in scorching 22C on the hottest day of the year so far.

The Met Office is predicting that the mercury will soar past 20 degrees on Wednesday (April 8). It is also expected to be gloriously sunny to go along with the balmy temperatures.

It comes after the warm weather returned to start the week. However, things will start to turn cooler again from Thursday (April 9).

The Met Office’s chief forecaster Paul Gundersen said: “We’re seeing a brief but notable spell of very warm weather for early April, with temperatures more typically associated with late spring or early summer.

“This could be the warmest spell at this point in April since 2020, a year many will remember because of the Covid‑19 lockdown.

“However, this warmth will be short-lived, with a marked drop in temperatures and more unsettled conditions developing later this week.

“In some areas, daytime temperatures could fall by around 10C between Wednesday and Thursday.”

With the temperatures set to hit 22C tomorrow, we decided to round-up a list of places Leeds will be warmer than. It includes plenty of places you would normally associate with warm weather.
