Sheffield's weekend weather forecast after wet week with drizzle all day Sunday
Will it rain in Sheffield this weekend?
It’s been a wetter week in Sheffield than we’ve had in a while - will we have a soggy weekend as well?
The Steel City has had another dry spring in 2026 - not as severe as last year, but enough to bring South Yorkshire’s reservoirs down to 80 per cent as of this week.
Wednesday was the heaviest day of rain seen in weeks, giving parched crops and gardens a welcome break.
Now, the Met Office is predicting more rain to come this weekend, with drizzle expected for much of Sunday (May 17).
