Weather in Leeds on Thursday with sunnier spell before February snow

Temperatures have been feeling frosty in Leeds recently, dropping below freezing. But after a cold -2C night yesterday, temperatures will reach highs of 7C today, and sunshine is expected.

The day will start out around 5C and it will be cloudy, before warming up to 7C at 12pm. Sunny spells are expected to last for eight hours.

Scattered cloud will spread inland from North Sea coasts. The Met Office reportedly it will be largely fine throughout the day with some winter sunny spells possible, and in most parts it will remain dry with no rain.

While it may be a little warmer today, with highs of 7C, it won't stick around for long; a polar vortex looms for the UK and temperatures will drop next month according to bleak national forecasts.

"It's a long way off in weather terms but the period around Valentine's Day has, in the past, often brought the UK some of its coldest and most wintry spells of weather."
