This is when Leeds' sunny weather will end as forecasters predict cooldown

The mercury reached 26 degrees this afternoon, with many people taking the chance to enjoy the weather in Leeds' many green spaces, including Golden Acre Park.

But temperatures are set to drop much closer to the seasonal norm from tomorrow (Wednesday).

But it's not all bad news, as it is expected to be mostly dry over the coming days.

According to BBC Weather: "Tomorrow will be much less hot than recent days with plenty of cloud around, along with the odd shower or spot of drizzle.

"Cloud should dissipate later in the day, becoming dry and clear overnight.

"Temperatures will return much closer to the seasonal norm for Thursday and Friday, but it will be dry with plenty of sunshine for most areas.

"More cloud around on Saturday, along with a chance of showers for some areas, but most places will remain dry."

Conditions are likely to remain similar on Sunday, but further into next week the weather is looking less certain.

According to the Met Office UK long range weather forecast: "Remaining mainly dry with sunny spells and light winds for most parts on Sunday and into the start of next week.

"Any isolated mist and fog patches in the north each morning quickly clearing.

"However, the far south and southwest will remain breezy with possible thundery showers.

"Temperatures around average for many though probably warm in the south.

"A spell of wet and windy conditions likely to arrive in the northwest on Tuesday.

"Through the rest of the week confidence is low with the most likely scenario a transition to more unsettled conditions.

"Some longer spells of rain or showers for a time are likely, the rain could be heavy in places, wettest and windiest in the north and west.

"Temperatures around average, possibly turning rather cold in the north."
