Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Feeling warm and humid, despite the breeze and the gradual ingress of rain.
Weather
Mainly fine during the early hours, although west-facing ground should see extensive low cloud. Brightest early on in the east, with cloud amounts generally increasing as the day progresses and the cloud lifts above the higher ground. Driest for longest in eastern parts, with the ingress of spells of rain and some showery bursts gradual from the west, but probably culminating in a spell of heavier and perhaps thundery showers into the evening more widely. While not as hot as areas further south, humidity will be high which could make strenuous activities more arduous
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Near-nil in western parts at first, 60% in east. Improving to 80% generally by afternoon as cloud rises clear of peaks.
Low cloud and visibility
Extensive low cloud to 400 metres in the west especially first thing, more broken in the east, rising clear of the highest ground by late morning. Visibility improving to good generally for a time, but deteriorating later in the day as rain becomes more pervasive.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
Weather
Cloudy, humid and damp to start, with the remnants of Friday's rain having eased, before gradually clearing eastwards. Becoming drier and brighter into the afternoon, with an eventual high UV index and building heat requiring consideration, especially given deceptive early conditions.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
30% at first, improving greater than 90% by lunchtime.
Maximum wind speed expected
Southwest 35mph, easing westerly then northwesterly.
Temperature
- At 600m Plus 14 degrees Celsius.
- Valley Plus 13 rising to plus 22 degrees Celsius.
- Freezing level Above the peaks.
Low cloud and visibility
Broken low cloud down to 400 metres soon rising clear of highest ground, breaking more fully than on Friday. Visibility improving very good.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
Sun 21 Jun
Fine and very warm, probably some medium and high cloud around during the morning, but this breaking later. Still on the humid side, with an eventual high UV index. Light northeasterly winds. The freezing level will remain above the peaks throughout the three-day period.
Mon 22 Jun
Fine and very warm after any early low cloud clears eastern exposure. Some high cloud around but with a high UV index again expected. Moderate easterly winds.
Tue 23 Jun
Another fine and very warm day after early low cloud again possibly affecting east-facing ground, with the heat perhaps triggering eventual thunderstorms, although low confidence in this aspect. Light to moderate easterly winds.
Summit specific forecast
The Peak District is home to a wide variety of magnificent hills, moors, outcrops and gritstone edges.
