Leeds May bank holiday weather: three day weekend forecast

The first bank holiday of May is just around the corner - but will the weather in Leeds be cool and grey or sunny and warm?

The Met Office UK outlook for Friday 3 May to Sunday 12 May said: “During the Bank Holiday weekend a pattern of generally dry weather is likely to develop, with some sunshine across most parts, although western and northern areas may eventually see some unsettled and windier conditions later.”

Daytime temperatures are also more likely to become warm again by the end of the weekend, but nights might be quite cold, with some late frost likely.

“How long the settled weather continues is uncertain and there remains a chance of spells of wet, windy and cooler weather at times, especially in the west and north,” adds the Met Office.
