Met Office Forecast

Yorkshire

Breezy with some rain overnight. Sunny and warm on Thursday.

This Evening and Tonight:

• Cloudy with outbreaks of rain initially, mainly over high ground.
• Becoming less windy as rain clears south later in the night.
• Some clear spells developing for many, except along coastal areas where it'll remain mostly cloudy with further rain.
• Minimum Temperature 12C.

Thursday:

• Fine and dry on Thursday.
• Fairly cloudy at first but some large amounts of sunshine in the afternoon.
• Feeling warm in the light winds.
• Maximum Temperature 25C.

Friday to Sunday:

• Variable cloud through the outlook period though most parts dry and fine with lengthy clear or sunny spells.
• Temperatures around average, breezy near the coast.

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

• Fine and dry across the bulk of the UK next week with plenty of sunshine.
• Feeling warm or very warm, potentially hot at times for central, southern and eastern parts of the UK, particularly at the start of next week.
• Often cloudy in northwestern areas with fresh winds and periods of rain, mostly light, although some drier, brighter and warmer spells of weather are likely here too.
• Temperatures near normal here but feeling cool in the rain and cloud.
• Progressing further into July, northern parts of the UK are likely to remain rather unsettled, these conditions perhaps becoming more widespread towards the end of the period and bringing cooler air further south.
• Dry weather likely continuing for the far south and southwest, though some showers still possible at times.

UK Week 3 and 4

• This period sees a weak signal for more settled conditions to extend more widely across the whole country again, though periods of cloud and rain still likely to be most prevalent in the northwest.
• Temperatures widely above average initially, especially across the south, and potentially very warm or hot at times, most likely for England and Wales.
• Temperatures perhaps returning closer to normal later in the period, but still likely to be warm to very warm at times in the south.

Met Office : Yorkshire : 2022-07-06T13:32:56

Daylight : Peak District

Day length is dusk to dawn. Times will vary a little if there is a hill on the horizon.

It should still be light enough to read at dawn and dusk, so there will be enough light for walking even earlier (later).

Moonlight : Peak District

Notes

• The moon's phase or fracillum (percentage of the moon illuminated) doesn't vary much with location.
• A full moon is not just bigger, its much brighter. A half moon ('50%') give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a half moon if its high in the sky (after dusk for a growing moon, before dawn for a shrinking moon).
• Sky glow (light reflected by air or clouds) from nearby cities, and especially snow on the ground also effect light levels.
• Times will vary a few minutes, as (i) these figures are for the centre of the county the walk is in, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon, and (iii) if you are on a hill
• Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!
