Weather warning in place for next two days as Leeds set to be hit by heavy rain

The Met Office has issued the warning and said the wet weather could lead to travel disruption and flooding.

It comes after one of the first dry weekends of 2020 for the city, as the weather looked to pick up following Strorms Ciara and Dennis which battered Leeds with heavy rain.

But the wet weather looks set to return, with the yellow warning in place from 6pm on Monday to noon on Tuesday.

Its forecast for Leeds says: "Showers across western hills becoming more isolated in the morning, drier and brighter elsewhere. Cloud thickening from the west through the afternoon, with some heavy rain later, and strengthening winds.

"Tuesday, windy with heavy rain on western hills, gradually turning drier and clearer."

The wet weather is also expected to continue into the back end of the week, with rain predicted for Thursday and Friday.
