Leeds weather: Exactly when thunderstorms are forecast as Met Office warns of floods and 'danger to life'

The yellow Met Office warning is in place from 9am to 11.59pm on Saturday, as heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected over parts of the UK – including in Leeds. Forecasters say flooding of homes and businesses could happen quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.

The Met Office adds: “Fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a danger to life. Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, and some communities might become cut off if roads flood. There’s a chance of power cuts and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost, forecasters say.
