Leeds is set to see a cloudy day with a high chance of rain throughout.
Temperatures are getting colder as showers hit parts of the county, following a warning that snow could hit the UK in March. The Met Office has predicted that recent atmospheric events such as the Polar Vortex and Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) could bring very cold temperatures to places like Leeds.
The SSW and Polar Vortex were the cause of 2018's Beast from the East. The Met Office says Leeds can expect to see colder temperatures, with the first week of March being below average but not to exceptional levels.
