Cloudy and rainy conditions across northern areas mean a sighting of the annual event is unlikely.
Those living in the south and west of the UK will have the best chance of catching a glimpse of the shooting stars, with clearer skies forecast.
The Leonids are normally fast and bright. The flashes of light are created when fragments of Comet Tempel-Tuttle - known as meteoroids when they are in Space - enter the Earth's atmosphere at over 45 miles per second and create friction in the air, causing them to burn up and leave a bright momentary streak across the sky.
The Moon will only be 35% illuminated overnight into Friday, meaning it won't be too bright and so it'll be easier to spot any shooting stars.
