Sheffield weather forecast: A dry, cloudy start to Boxing Day before heavy downpours

The Met Office said the city will likely see heavier busts at first, before turning light and patchy through the day with a maximum temperature of 6°C.

But it will remain cloudy through the night as the patchy rain in the evening will ease with a minimum temperature of 4°C.

And it will continue to be wet on Friday (December 27) as outbreaks of rain will spread eastwards through the morning, possibly heavier for a time.

It will turn drier through the afternoon with the odd brighter break, but most will be cloudy with maximum temperature of 9°C.

The Met Office gave its outlook for the weekend where it will be mainly dry with some bright or sunny spells before it turns cooler through Monday with possible rain.
