Leeds weather: When heavy rain will hit the city today as yellow thunderstorm warning issued in Yorkshire

After a week of scorching sun, Leeds saw a wet and at times thundery Monday yesterday (June 19). And according to the Met Office, it’s looking to remain that way today (Tuesday June 20).

A yellow weather warning has been issued across Yorkshire and Humber, but is currently not covering Leeds as it remains further towards the east. 

It is however looking to be a rather wet and mostly cloudy day today as heavy rain is predicted until into the afternoon before easing up a little with some light rain into the evening. 

Temperatures today are expected to peak at around 20°C.

Into the evening, it is likely to turn drier with some clear spells developing and a largely dry and quite warm night into Wednesday is likely with temperatures around 17°C.
