Leeds weather forecast for Wednesday as wet and windy day looms

Leeds is set for a wet and windy day on Wednesday, October 12.

After a brief dry spell, Wednesday will see temperatures drop, clouds take over the skies, the sun retreat, and some rains throughout the day. Windspeed will peak at 10mph, but wind gust will hit 21mph in the afternoon.

Outside, it will feel like its 13C at most, and with no sunshine forecast, it will be cold by all accounts. The MetOffice said: "Rather cloudy throughout, as spells of rain make slow progress eastwards, these heaviest and most persistent over the Dales and becoming lighter and more spread out later. Breezy at first. Maximum temperature 15 °C."

The trend should continue towards the weekend too. The MetOffice said: "Fine for a time Thursday, but cloudier and eventually wet and windy later and into Friday, with gales possible. Rain followed by sunshine and blustery showers Friday, and similarly unsettled Saturday."

Most rain is expected between 11am and 4pm. The sun will set by 6.30pm.
