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.
Today's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Patchwork of cloud and sun
Dry most or all day. A mix of cloud and sunshine. Occasional cloud banks drifting over higher slopes, lifting above the tops.
Cool to mild
Air temperature 5 to 10C on higher terrain. Comfortable temperatures on lower terrain, but feeling chilly if exposed to wind higher up, especially if stationary. Pack extra layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
Chilly and showery west Scottish highlands, fewer showers east but several afternoon hours of more widespread rain, later easing. Some early showers from south Scotland to north Wales, largely fading with sun breaks; south Wales is dry and brighter. Strong wind widely, easing Wales and north Scotland.
Headline for Peak District
Very windy; some early light sprinkles soon fade
How windy? (On the summits)
West shifting northwesterly 30-35mph, to 40mph over the tops in the early hours. Trending towards the lighter end of the range, at times below 30mph, but with stronger winds returning too.
Effect of the wind on you?
Walking impeded in exposure much of the day and feeling chilly, moments of more strenuous walking in exposure, most notably early.
How Wet?
Little expected
A few well-scattered patches of light rain drift onto the moors from the northwest, the falls light and brief and hills more often dry. Near and south of Kinder Scout probably entirely dry.
Cloud on the hills?
Lifting off the summits
Patchy cloud on high terrain early in the day, possibly some ragged lower patches too, mostly western slopes. Cloud lifts through morning, the hills probably free of cloud afternoon.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to 90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Some sunny glimpses, but most often cloudy until late in the day. Very good visibility, some haze in the distance to the west.
Temperature (at 600m)
7C rising to 11C; Lancashire Pennines stay a degree cooler. Feeling around freezing in strongest direct wind.
And in the valleys
8 or 9C at dawn, rising to 15C, or possibly warmer southernmost valleys.

How windy? (On the summits)
South-southwesterly 15-20mph; some chance of lower speeds, particularly early, but confidence is low.
Effect of the wind on you?
Probably fairly small, but a risk of stronger breezes impeding walking on high terrain.
How Wet?
Patchy rain
The early hours probably stay dry, but a rising risk of patchy rain approaching from the southwest towards midday, continuing afternoon but dry windows are likely too.
Cloud on the hills?
Probably clear
Some patchy cloud at various heights in the morning, many hills probably start clear of cloud, and mostly dissipating as morning gets going.
Chance of cloud free summits?
90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mixed cloud and sun through morning, more often cloudy afternoon. Very good visibility.
Temperature (at 600m)
9C rising to 14C.

Planning Outlook
Sunday will be a clearing day for most under a core of high pressure: early rain in Scottish Highlands easing, most cloud lifting off all hills except the north of Scotland, and good sunshine through weakened by high cloud. Temperature more widely mild, warm in Wales. Into next week, a mixed southwesterly pattern remains, windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west. Warmest in England and Wales, but may stay cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. Tuesday into Wednesday shows indications of a wetter and windier spell. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, but extensively settled weather remains elusive until at least the following week.
