Mountain weather
Peak District
Confidence
High for largely dry through the coming days and a change to colder, northerly winds later in the week, but lower for cloud details on Tuesday as there is some uncertainty over how far north fronts push across the southern United Kingdom.

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Feeling rather cold on the summits, especially later in the day as winds freshen a little. Valley temperatures may struggle to reach 4 or 5 Celsius where fog lingers.
Weather
Overnight low level mist and fog will be slow to clear, perhaps lingering all day in places, but on the hills a fine day is expected with some long sunny spells. Remaining dry through the evening with long clear spells, risk of low-level mist and fog reforming.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Around 90%
Low cloud and visibility
Occasional cloud above 600-750m with some thin low cloud on the foothills as low-level mist and fog lifts. Away from cloud visibility good or very good, but less than a kilometre in low-level mist and fog.
Ground conditions
