UK weather map shows exact time snow will fall in Leeds as 24-hour warning issued

Temperatures are set to plunge across various parts of the country next week as BBC Weather forecasters have warned some parts of Yorkshire could see 17 hours of continuous snow and sleet.

The Met Office has issued a rare 24-hour weather warning for next week and weather maps show the exact time and dates for when snow is due to fall in Leeds.

Weather experts at WX Charts have been able to track the trajectory of the snow which is set to fall next week, with their maps predicting the first flurries at 6pm on Monday, March 6 for Leeds.

The snow, which appears as purple on the map, is predicted to last until 9pm the same night. The darker the shade of purple, the thicker the snow, according to WX Charts.

Tuesday is expected to warm up with no snow expected until later in the week. More wintry weather will hit Leeds on Saturday, March 11, with flurries of snow thought to hit the region from 12am until 6am in Leeds. The snow will then reappear at 6pm and last until midnight. The weather maps show a darker shade of purple meaning the snow is predicted to be much heavier.

The UK government has issued a rare cold weather alert with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Met Office warning temperatures will be significantly colder from Monday, March 6, until Wednesday, March 8.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at UKHSA, said: "During periods like this, it is important to check in on family, friends and relatives who may be more vulnerable to the cold weather, as it can have a serious impact on health.

"If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over the age of 65, it is important to try and heat your home to at least 18°C if you can."
