Full Leeds weather forecast as 'arctic blast' warnings of blizzard heading to UK

A massive storm could see parts of the UK hit with over 18 hours of snow, with the first snowflakes set to fall early next week according to WXCharts. The 800 mile-wide "Greenland barrage" will strike the north first, with snow expected in Birmingham on Friday (24 February) and sleet in London over the weekend.

However, reports from the Met Office predict Leeds is likely to avoid the snowy weather, with clouds and dropping temperatures predicted instead for the coming days. Here is the full Leeds weather forecast from The Met Office for the next seven days.
