Rain, snow, and sleet are expected to fall across Yorkshire this week as temperatures remain cold. The Met Office predicts spells of rain and sleet, with a chance of snow, especially on hills. Winds will also be strong. The rest of the week will see continued cold and cloudy conditions with further rain and showers, becoming drier towards the middle of the week.
Today, rain and sleet is expected to fall in some places across the county with wind also blowing. It is likely there will be some snow fall as well, mostly across the hills. There will be a maximum temperature of 5C.
The Met Office said: "Another mostly cloudy and increasingly cold day, the continuing onshore wind bringing spells of rain and sleet. Some snow is likely, this mainly on hills where small accumulations are possible. Maximum temperature 5C." Meanwhile, the rest of the week will see lots of cold and cloud, with further rain and showers. It will become drier towards the middle of the week, with the winds also lessening.
Later, the Met Office's weather forecast for the period between February 14 and February 23 says there will be below average temperatures and cloudy conditions. They said: "East or southeasterly winds are likely at the start of this period. This maintaining below average temperatures and often cloudy conditions. There is a chance of colder conditions developing which would see an increase in wintry showers, especially in eastern and northeastern parts of the country.
"Meanwhile, Atlantic frontal zones, bringing milder conditions and rain, will attempt to move in from the west or southwest. Early in this period these look likely to have limited influence over the UK though should they push further northeastwards this would increase the chance of snow for some areas.
