Leeds weather forecast: Exactly when snow is forecast for the city as temperatures set to plummet

Despite nearing the official first day of spring, temperatures are expected to drop to overnight lows of -2C in the next week. The cold snap will begin on Sunday, forecasters predict, with snow and sleet expected on five days next week.

Leeds has so far avoided the heavy snow seen in other parts of the country this winter – there was travel chaos in London as the city was blanketed by snow in December. The Met Office says winds from the north will bring cold conditions to Yorkshire over the next week, resulting in wintry showers and organised bands of snow at times.
