It will then make its way north, hitting Leeds, according to weather app Ventusky.

The Met Office has said there will be an "unsettled" period of weather across the UK next week.

"A couple of weather systems [could] bring rain or showers to most areas, with strong winds in places and temperatures near to a little below normal for late March," its long-range forecast from March 25 to April 3.

"Perhaps staying relatively drier in the north, with some wintry showers possible for northern Scotland on Monday."

"Through the bank holiday weekend and into the following week, unsettled or changeable weather remains the most likely outcome," it continues.

"All areas are likely to see further rain or showers at times, with some drier spells in between, but wet weather will tend to favour the southwest while northern parts remain a bit drier on average.

"Temperatures will probably continue near normal for the time of year."
