Storm Debi Leeds: Hour-by-hour weather forecast as Met Office issues warning for 65mph winds

Storm Debi is sweeping across the UK, bringing heavy rain and gale force winds. A yellow alert for strong winds, covering Leeds and large swathes of Yorkshire, is in force from 4am until 6pm today.

There is a chance of 60-65 mph gusts developing inland and 70-80 mph around coasts, the Met Office said. It has warned that there may be flying debris, damage to buildings and disruption to travel.

The Met Office said: “Storm Debi is expected to develop and move across Ireland and northern England on Monday.

"Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the exact track and depth of this low, there is a chance of very strong westerly winds developing along Irish Sea coasts of Wales and northwest England on Monday morning before extending inland during day, slowly easing later.

"There is a chance of 60-65 mph gusts developing inland and 70-80 mph around coasts, and over some higher ground, such as the Pennines.”

Here is the hour-by-hour weather forecast for Leeds city centre on Monday – with winds in the suburbs set to be even more severe.
