Peak District
The southernmost Pennines, covering the entire Peak District National Park, also extending north to hills accessed from Hebden Bridge, and including the hills immediately north of Manchester.
Saturday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Frequent or persistent rain
Steady rain fairly persistent, occasionally heavy, rather wet underfoot.
Hazy, some fog banks
.jpg "Hazy, some fog banks"){kind=icon}
Hazy views with lack of air clarity, particularly on lower terrain, some fog banks on hills making navigation locally more difficult. If above an inversion, the air outstandingly clear.
Chilly
Air temperature typically 0 to 5C on higher summits. Feeling distinctly chilly on tops when stationary or where exposed to wind. Take appropriate layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
As less cold air penetrates the UK, only higher summits in Scotland will remain below freezing point. Nevertheless, much mountains terrain will remain frozen and icy. Rain and strong winds overnight will have eased to in Scotland and through the morning will clear Wales and N England.
Headline for Peak District
Rain morning. Fog tending to thin. Terrain partly frozen.
How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 30 to 40mph veering west or northwesterly 20mph middle of day.
Effect of the wind on you?
Strenuous walking with frequent buffeting and considerable wind chill morning.
How Wet?
Rain mostly morning
Rain and drizzle frequent most of morning but toward midday gradually easing to well scattered showers.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive, rising afternoon
Very varied; overall most hills cloud covered, in some areas from just above valleys up. Nevertheless, will improve, by afternoon most cloud above 500m, and may occasionally clear higher tops - although in places fog may persist lower down.
Chance of cloud free summits?
20% rising to 50% afternoon
Sunshine and air clarity?
Dull and misty morning; slowly pockets of sun coming through and below cloud visibility becoming very good.
Temperature (at 600m)
4C. Feeling like -8C where exposed in morning.
And in the valleys
Will rise to around 6C - but expect patches of still frozen terrain.

How windy? (On the summits)
Northerly, between 25 and 30mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Will impede ease of walking across the hills, and balance may be tricky.
How Wet?
Little or perhaps no precipitation
There may be light rain now and again, most likely morning. There is also risk that showers over the North Sea penetrate as far as the eastern Pennines.
Cloud on the hills?
Mostly or all clearing
Nearly all hills are likely to clear, although in the morning cloud extensively shrouding the hills. Gradually most or all summits clearing.
Chance of cloud free summits?
70% by afternoon
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patches of bright sunshine slowly coming through. Visibility very good or perhaps in afternoon excellent.
Temperature (at 600m)
Around 2C - a marginal drop likely through the day Will feel as cold as minus 6C directly in the wind.
And in the valleys
Will reach 7C early afternoon.
Planning Outlook
Another brief burst of cold air on Monday and Tuesday will bring further snow to northern Scotland. By Wednesday, milder air together with rain and strong wind will be extending across Britain. Rain and strong wind will be frequent, particularly on western mountains for the remainder of the week. In Scotland temperatures on the Munros will sometimes be below freezing point, but fresh snow probably transient, whereas elsewhere, snow rare if any.
