Met Office Forecast

Yorkshire

Cloudy with rain tonight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy with persistent rain developing this evening. Heavy bursts are likely during the evening and early hours. Rain generally becoming lighter and more patchy by the end of the night. Minimum Temperature 9C.

Thursday:

Cloudy at first with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. Slowly becoming drier from the north, with some brighter spells possible later. Maximum Temperature 17C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Fresher with sunny spells and showers Friday, these locally heavy and possibly thundery. Largely dry Saturday and Sunday with sunny spells. Feeling warm in the sunshine.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

Through the majority of this period, it will be mostly dry and settled for many areas, especially in the south of the UK. More unsettled conditions with spells of rain and strong winds may affect the north and northwest at times. These unsettled conditions could spread to other parts of the UK later in this period, but widespread unsettled conditions are unlikely. Temperatures are likely to be mostly around normal, although it may become warm for a time in the south and perhaps very warm in the southeast. Towards the end of the period, conditions may start to trend towards more generally settled weather for most areas, but with the possibility of the occasional bout of wetter weather.

Week 3 and 4:

Although confidence remains low throughout this period, the preferred scenario favours a more settled regime. There should be plenty of dry, fine weather around, though there is still the risk of occasional bouts of rain and strong winds. Such spells are mostly likely across the north and west, but they could spread to other areas at times. Temperatures generally around average, with any periods of particularly warm weather most likely being short-lived.

Met Office : Yorkshire : 2020-07-08T13:45:56

Daylight : Derbyshire

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 : Derbyshire

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!
