Leeds weather: Today's forecast as city wakes up to freezing temperatures and icy conditions

Today (January 9), sunshine will accompany low temperatures throughout the day, with readings struggling to rise above freezing for more than an hour.

Currently, Leeds is free from weather warnings. However, with temperatures dropping to -7°C overnight, any existing ice and snow on the ground may create slippery roads, increasing the risk of injuries.

In the early afternoon, temperatures may briefly reach around 1°C, but they will quickly fall back below freezing, leading to very cold conditions in the evening and into Friday.
