Thursday 11th April 2024

It looks like the weather for the day is pretty mild in the morning, with overcast skies and temperatures starting at around 12°C at 6 a.m. and warming up gradually.

By noon, you’ll see some breaks in the cloud cover with the temperature peaking at 17°C around 3 p.m. It remains partly cloudy throughout the afternoon. In the evening, the chance of rain starts to creep in, beginning at 9 p.m., and by midnight, there's a 35% chance of rain with the temperature dipping back to 14°C.

So, if you’re planning to be out and about, you might want a light jacket for the day and maybe an umbrella for later in the evening just in case.

The festival, organised by the Rotary Club of Roundhay, is a fundraising fiesta with proceeds aiding local causes. Family-friendly activities abound on Saturday afternoon, with free admission for kids and a medley of musical acts across both days to keep the vibe alive.
