The weekend will begin with an overcast day and evening on Friday, which is forecasted to stay relatively dry with highs of 14C.

But from Saturday morning, those outdoor dining or drinking will need their brollies with them as the rain is set to pour all the way from 6am to 10pm with very few dry hours.

On Sunday, although the sun peeping through the clouds might make things a little easier, the rain is forecast to drizzle throughout the entirety of the day.

Sunset is getting later, though, with it going down at 8.59pm on Friday, 9.01pm on Saturday and reaching 9.03pm on Sunday evening.

The rainy weekend weather follows a huge storm which hit Leeds on Tuesday night - with people across the city taking pictures of the skies above their homes as lightening and thunder struck.
