Yorkshire

Cold and mainly clear overnight

  • Some early evening sunshine before dusk
  • Cold and largely clear overnight with a widespread sharp frost and some patches of mist by dawn
  • Winds remaining light
  • Minimum Temperature -1C

Thursday:

  • Another dry, bright and warm day on Thursday, with long sunny spells in the morning
  • Sunshine perhaps becoming hazy in the afternoon
  • Cool and foggy overnight
  • Maximum Temperature 15C

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

  • A foggy start Friday, with sunny spells to follow
  • Spells of rain and showers over the weekend, these perhaps heavy, but some sunny intervals also possible
  • Less warm

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Still rather unsettled across much of the UK at first with scope for some heavy showers across parts of the south on Sunday, but overall, the final week or so of March to the start of April looks to be characterised by a slowly evolving, generally changeable weather pattern
  • This means some drier interludes are likely, perhaps more especially in the south, where overnight fog is also a possibility
  • Further north and northwest, there is a greater chance of rain or showers, these accompanied by windier conditions at times
  • There is a small chance that these wetter, windier conditions may become more widespread for a time
  • Temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, though chilly nights remain possible where clear skies coincide with light winds

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Confidence is lower than normal, but blocked or slow-moving weather patterns are most probable for the first half of April
  • This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and, depending on their location, this can result in extended periods of either dry conditions (slightly more-likely) or wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers (slightly less-likely)
  • Temperatures will vary, with some large day-to-day swings possible, but overall are likely to be near average

Visibility in km. Above 50km is 'good'. Humidity and air pollution make it worse. Theoretical maximum is 300km/200 miles in clean dry polar air.

On the South Downs, at ~ 170m/500ft, the horizon is is ~ 45km/30 miles away. On a mountain at 1,000m/3,000ft, it is ~ 160km/100 miles away. Formula: horizon in km = √ (13 x altitude in m)

Notes

  • Max Height (solar noon) is when the sun is highest in the sky.
  • Day length is dawn to dusk as there is enough light for walking for at least 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, even on an overcast day.
  • At 'Light' (nautical dawn) the horizon becomes visible. At 'Dawn' (civil dawn) there is enough light to read, and drivers can switch their lights off. Finally the sun rises.
  • After sunset, there is still enough light to read until 'Dusk' (civil dusk) or lighting up time for drivers. The horizon is still visible until 'Dark' (nautical dusk).
  • Times will vary if there is a hill on the horizon.

Notes

  • The percentage of the moon which is illuminated doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, it is much brighter. A quarter moon (1/2 disk visible) give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a quarter 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
  • Sunlight is ~ 1,000,000 times brighter than moonlight.
  • Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!

Peak District weather (Accuweather)

Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.
