Bank holiday weekend weather: What to expect in Leeds as heavy rain and cooler temperatures set to hit

Unfortunately, temperatures across the country will take a dip as a cold front brings fresher air in from the Atlantic.

“The mornings especially will be quite chilly with temperatures locally in single figures and some of us in rural areas may even have a touch of frost overnight.”
