Climate chart - Leeds
The climate of Leeds is oceanic, with quite cold, rainy winters and mild, relatively rainy summers.
The city is located in the center-north of England, in West Yorkshire.
Precipitation is lower than in other parts of England because the Pennines to the west (the low mountains that run through England from north to south like a backbone) partially block the wet currents from the Irish Sea.
Winter is not very cold, but the sky is often cloudy, the humidity is high and there are periods when the wind blows moderate or strong. The rains are frequent.
On the coldest nights of the year, the temperature generally drops to around -5 °C (23 °F), but can sometimes drop to lower values. In December 2010 the temperature dropped to -16 °C (3 °F).
In summer, temperatures are generally mild or cool. It can also rain, albeit a little less often than in winter.
However, hot periods cannot be ruled out, usually of short duration. The temperature reached 37 °C (98.5 °F) in July 2022.
