Mad Friday is one of the busiest nights (and afternoons!) on the Christmas calendar in Leeds and this year should be no different.
But the weather is set to play a small part in determining just how things go down on the one Friday when people simply let it rip. Leeds is expected to be fairly dry in the morning with medium visibility.
The cloudy outlook will however change to rain around noon. This will morph into heavy rain and extend throughout the day and into the night.

The rain will affect later afternoon and early evening visibility. Wind Gusts will average 17mph and make it feel extra cold.
Coats and umbrellas will be needed for any night out as the rain and the cold will persist through the night.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Rather cloudy with a few scattered showers, mainly confined to coasts, through the morning. A band of rain arrives from the southwest later in the day, with freshening winds. Maximum temperature 6 °C."
