Sheffield weather: Hour by hour forecast as Storm Dudley brings severe gales, heavy rain and chance of snow

Storm Dudley will sweep across the nation on Wednesday and Thursday, before Storm Eunice comes into full force on Friday, prompting a yellow weather warning for the city.

In Sheffield and South Yorkshire, winds of up to 50mph are on the cards, as well as heavy rain and even the potential of snow by the end of the week.

The yellow weather warning, which is in force from midnight to 9pm on Friday, says there is a risk of damage to buildings, trees and power lines when the storm hits.

There is also a small chance that roads, bridges and railway lines could close and there could be significant disruption and delays to travel.

‘Signifcant snowfall’ could also occur over hills and higher ground.

Amber weather warnings are also in place for other areas of the country on Wednesday and Thursday – and even though there isn’t currently one for Sheffield on those days, ‘severe gales’ have been forecast, alongside long periods of heavy rain.

So what is the hour by hour forecast for when the storms hit the city and when is the worst of the weather expected? This is what the Met Office has said.
