Peak District

Confidence

High for the ongoing fine and sunny weather, with high UV. Lower confidence for any cloud obscuring hills early in the day.

Mountain hazards

Mountain weather hazards

Hazards apply at or above 300m, reflecting the more severe conditions which can occur at altitude.

Strong Sunlight
Harmful UV levels from sunlight increase with altitude giving a greater risk of sunburn and eye damage, even on some overcast days. On breezy days, the cooling effect of wind on exposed skin may disguise any feeling of sunburn until it is too late. If there is snow cover, glare increases the effect of UV rays especially on the eyes. It is advisable to wear sun block, protective clothing such as a long-sleeved top and hat and have good quality eye protection.

Mountain weather forecast

Fine, largely sunny and feeling warm. High UV.

Additional weather information

Meteorologist's view

Another fine and sunny day. UV levels will again be high with appropriate sun protection essential.

Weather

Early cloud and mist soon lifting. Sunshine perhaps turning a little hazier into the afternoon with some high cloud spreading south, but otherwise a fine and warm day.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

80% during the morning, otherwise greater than 95%.

Low cloud and visibility

Isolated patches of cloud obscuring some eastern hills between 200m and 600m during the morning, and give a brief period of cloud at higher levels as they lift through the morning. Very good to excellent visibility, but poor in any early morning mist.

Ground conditions

No recent ground conditions report available.
