Yorkshire is facing a notable weather shift, with mild temperatures at the start of the week giving way to considerably cooler conditions and increased rainfall. The forecast affects major cities across the region including Leeds, York, Sheffield and Huddersfield, where the weather is set to change substantially over the coming days.
