This is when Sheffield will be battered by heavy rain after sunny weekend
It was a sunny weekend and there’s more to come - but today, Sheffield can expect a downpour
A sudden downpour is heading for Sheffield.
After a balmy spring weekend and ahead of another scorching few days this week, Sheffield will see a cloudburst wash over the city late this afternoon (April 27).
The Met Office predicts 95 per cent rain coverage across Sheffield between 4pm and 5pm, with showers arriving from 3pm and persisting until 7pm.
It comes after over a week of warm sunny weather in the region.
Showers will arrive from the north from 3pm, likely landing in east Sheffield such as the Wincobank and Attercliffe areas.
However, from 4pm, heavy rain is forecast to sweep the city, reaching a peak between 5pm and 6pm.
Rain will persist but likely pass over by 7pm.
It certainly doesn’t mark the end of warm weather in Sheffield this week.
After some light rain forecast overnight into Tuesday, South Yorkshire is expected to bake with temperatures reaching as high as 22C this Friday.
A cloudy but bright weekend is also in store, with highs of 19C on Saturday.
