Leeds weather: Hour-by-hour forecast as Met Office says 'severe frost possible' with snow and ice warning

It has been a freezing few days for people in the city so far this week – and that will continue today (January 17), according to the Met Office.

Forecasters have predicted a cold start in Leeds, but it will be broken up with long periods of sunshine throughout the morning.

However, the yellow weather warning for snow and ice remains across a swathe of the UK, with snow showers having the potential to merge into longer spells of wintery weather.

Forecasters say this means there could be “travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers” in some areas, as well as power cuts and possible delays or cancellations to trains and flights.

There’s also a chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, experts have warned.

In Leeds, it will stay cold and sunny into the afternoon with some “raw winds” – and further afield there could be isolated wintry flurries, possibly towards coastal areas, with some icy patches. The maximum temperature will be 1°C.

Tonight will be another very cold night for the city with “a severe frost possible”.

Then, tomorrow will start as a sunny but very cold day, with the possibility of some more icy patches.
