Met Office Forecast

Yorkshire

Dry with variable cloud. Occasional sunny spells.

This Evening and Tonight:

Some evening sunny spells are likely for many. It will stay dry with variable cloud cover through the night, perhaps cloud increasing towards dawn. Winds will remain light. Minimum Temperature 7C.

Wednesday:

Dry with variable cloud cover, the best sunny wearther during the afternoon. Rather cool near coasts with onshore breezes, feeling more pleasant or warm inland. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Generally dry with some long sunny spells. Warm or very warm inland, but cooler around the coast, and possible coastal mist and fog on Friday and Saturday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

A fine and sunny day for many on Sunday but the chance of seeing a few heavy showers in the north. Heading into June it looks likely that there will be a continuation of settled weather at first with most areas staying dry although the chance of seeing some rain or showers increases, especially in the north and west. Very warm initially but temperatures probably trending back closer to average. Confidence lowers during early June but signals show a shift to more changeable weather with a chance of showers or longer spells of rain across all parts. Despite the spells of wetter weather there will be some drier and brighter interludes for most. Temperatures likely closer to around average for many but perhaps staying warmer for some across the south.

Week 3 and 4:

The start of this period will see a continuation of more changeable conditions with spells of dry and sunny weather interspersed with showers or some longer spells of rain. Showers or rain are most likely to be seen in the northwest of the UK and they may be accompanied by strong winds at times also. Through mid to late June overall drier and warmer than average weather looks to be more favourable in the south than wetter and cooler conditions. Northern parts however will likely see temperatures sticking around average for the time of year.

Met Office : Yorkshire : 2020-05-26T12:56:32

Daylight : South Yorkshire

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 : South Yorkshire

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!
