Leeds weather: BBC Weather predicts date it could finally rain in Leeds after latest heatwave
It could also start to feel a bit cooler very soon 🌧️
A fourth heatwave is bringing extremely warm temperatures across the country once again.
Leeds is expected to swelter in the high 20s once again - with today (July 29) set to be the hottest day of the week. It comes after it reached 30 degrees on multiple occasions earlier in the summer.
The warm weather has been accompanied by a lack of rain and you might be wondering when the sunny spell will end. Temperatures are set to fall into the lower 20s in the coming days and over the weekend.
BBC Weather is now predicting that Leeds could see light rain at the start of next week. Showers are currently forecast on Monday (August 3) with downpours predicted throughout the morning until 12pm (noon).
It could also feel cooler with a gentle breeze. The forecast is expecting a return of the sunshine following the rainy start to next week.
In its forecast for next week, the Met Office predicts: “Mostly dry away from the north and northwest initially, where scattered showers are expected. There is a chance that some other western parts could see some rain by the end of the weekend.
“Temperatures ranging from around average in the NW to warm in the southeast, perhaps becoming very warm in the southeast through the weekend. It will probably become more changeable thereafter, with potential for an area of low pressure to move close to or across the UK early in August.
“This could bring spells of heavy rain and perhaps some strong winds for some areas. It may become more settled again towards the end of the first week of August.”
Looking ahead to the rest of August, the Met Office adds: “Dry and settled conditions will probably dominate much of this period with high pressure patterns tending to affect the UK.
“This may be interrupted at times by Atlantic frontal systems, especially in the north, or thunderstorms in the south. However, overall rainfall amounts will likely be below normal. Temperatures will probably be above normal and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.”
