Gales are predicted to start off in the west and high winds will travel towards the east, reaching up to 75mph. People are being urged to be cautious when outdoors and commuters should plan ahead.

But wind will not be an issue in Leeds on Thursday. A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Cloudy and dull Thursday with outbreaks rain, but becoming generally dry by the afternoon.

"Winds mostly light but becoming windy overnight. Maximum temperature 12 °C."

Some early morning rain is expected in Leeds on Thursday, from around 2am. The rest of the day will be overcast with impact on visibility.

However, Friday will be a whole different ball game. Forecasters said: ""A deep area of low pressure is expected to impact much of northern Britain through Friday. Winds will increase from west to east, with gusts of 55-65 mph likely, and locally as high as 70-75 mph for exposed coasts and hills."
