Met Office Leeds weather forecast with sunny Saturday ahead as temperatures soar

If you’re hoping to head away for this bank holiday weekend to make the most of a few days off, you might be asking yourself what the weather holds.

Will it be a sunny end to April? Or are Spring showers far more likely?

Here in Yorkshire, the Met Office thinks Saturday will bring a little of both, with the county welcoming a sunny start on Saturday morning. However, through the afternoon cloud will increase from the northwest, bringing outbreaks of rain for the evening.
