Storm Diana is expected to bring heavy rain to Leeds.

Storm Diana is set to hit Leeds this week as the weather front sweeps across the Atlantic before bringing strong winds and heavy rain to the UK.

The Met Office is warning of a "major change" in the weather this week as the settled conditions make way for downpours and gusts.

Forecasters say things will change on Tuesday and gradually worsen as Storm Diana arrives on our shores.

Temperatures will be mild but the windy conditions and prolonged rain showers are expected to affect the majority of the UK.

Travel is expected to be affected and some homes could be at risk of flooding.
