The Met Office is predicting a spell of hot and sunny weather for the city next week
The Met Office has issued an update on the expected early September heatwave across the UK and has predicted how hot it will get in Leeds this week.
The forecaster said the jet stream, which has been delivering largely unsettled spells of weather, is continuing to shift north - allowing higher pressure to build widely across the UK during the weekend. The influence of former tropical cyclone Franklin is also continuing to move into the north Atlantic, amplifying the build-up of high pressure.
Most assessments of the new heatwave suggest that it will continue during the week. However, next weekend there is then an increased chance of a breakdown in the settled conditions.Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Bulmer, said: “As high pressure becomes established from this weekend, fine and settled conditions will develop and along with this we will see a rise in temperature across most parts of the UK next week.
“Although the highest temperatures are likely to be in the south and east of England, these areas also have higher temperature thresholds for heatwave conditions to be declared. So, while some areas may just miss out on the actual definition, regardless of thresholds, many areas will enjoy a fine period of weather with plenty of sunshine and temperatures are likely to be the highest for many since June or early July.
