Yorkshire

Brighter spells on Saturday and feeling chilly, especially near coasts.

Today:

A chilly day with strong northerly winds persisting, and coastal gales are likely. Variable cloud will allow some brighter intervals, but a few showers are likely to develop, mainly in the afternoon. A dry and fine evening but remaining windy. Maximum Temperature 13C.

Tonight:

Turning more cloudy for most areas but probably staying dry. Remaining windy with gales still likely near coasts. Winds easing a little later in the night, especially inland. Minimum Temperature 4C.

Sunday:

Mainly dry on Sunday with rather cloudy skies, and some brightness by afternoon. Chilly, but winds will be less strong than recent days, and will decrease later. Maximum Temperature 14C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Rather cloudy on Monday with rain possible for a time. Feeling less cold. Mainly dry with sunny spells on Tuesday, then increasing chance of rain and showers on Wednesday.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

An unsettled period, with plenty of showers and some occasional longer spells of rain across much of the country. Some drier and brighter spells are possible at times, which will most likely in southern and eastern areas. The heaviest and most prolonged spells of rain will be in the north and west to begin with but, with time, they are likely to become more widespread across the UK. It will be generally windy, with a risk of gales at times (potentially severe), particularly in northern and northwestern regions. Feeling cold through much of early October, especially where there is persistent rain and strong winds. Frost is possible at night in any calmer period, especially in northern Britain.

Week 3 and 4:

A potential change in the weather is anticipated around the middle of October. Whilst further rain and strong winds are likely at times, spells of fine and dry weather could become more widespread and long-lived. At night, these calmer conditions could allow frost and fog to form more readily. At this time of year, there is potential for fog to linger well into the daytime. Overall, temperatures probably recovering close to the seasonal average for mid-October.

Met Office : Yorkshire : 2020-09-26T02:34:45

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!
