[Mintox]

Im going to the Leeds at the end of August im wondering what the weather will be like. The furthest north ive ever been is Leicester and that was ok-ish. will it be a case of sunnies and shorts or binbags and wellies???

It will be raining. I work for a leeds based company and whenever I go it's raining! Leeds is a s***hole. Dont Go. Go somewhere better, go to Slough. lol.

Leeds is ace and I won't hear another word against it! To be honest though, the phrase 'grim up north' is well known for a reason. I think the weather is much the same as anywhere but when we get sunny days it is a wonderful place to be. Less crowded and stressful than London but still v cosmopolitan (loads of great bars too!). Bring a brolly and you'll be fine - its not freezing or anything - in fact these past few weeks its been boiling (but still raining!)

Today it is over 80 degrees and gorgeous. Plus, Leeds is a lovely city with a lot to offer even if its raining :-))

Leeds is one of the smartest and most up-and-coming Northern cities, with its share of haves and have-nots just like anywhere else. I live in in North Yorkshire and we have had 25 degrees today and decent weather for a couple of weeks or so. Try not to be freaked out by travelling "further north than Leicester" - it's not a different country y'know! I would bring layers, just like my mum would say. Best plan would probably be to watch the weather forecast. But there are numerous things to do, indoors and out.
