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 8 to 12C 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
A fine day developing as overnight rain fades and cloud banks lift and break to reveal patchy sunshine. Early strong breezes easing gradually. Patchy cloud may come and go on higher western tops in the Highlands. Slower to improve in south Wales.
Headline for Peak District
Windy start, easing. Early drizzly low cloud clears.
How windy? (On the summits)
Westerly 30-35mph, gusts 40mph around and before dawn. Dropping during early morning to 25mph, gradually easing to 15-20mph afternoon, or less later; turning southwesterly into night.
Effect of the wind on you?
Considerable buffeting in the morning will challenge stability in exposure - feeling chilly, but improving, becoming fairly small later afternoon.
How Wet?
Damp at first, soon dry
Remnants of overnight rain leaves patchy showery rain over western areas at first, spots drifting east. Soon fading to leave a dry day.
Cloud on the hills?
Early cloud banks largely clearing
Covering higher slopes at dawn, may linger above 500m in western areas early morning, but lifting and breaking to be largely above the hills by late morning.
Chance of cloud free summits?
90% by late morning
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mostly cloudy early morning, glimpses of sun improving into patchwork of sun and cloud. Visibility increasingly excellent.

How windy? (On the summits)
Southeasterly 25 to 35mph, speeds may vary during day, gusts 40mph+ for a time, in places toward some lower elevations.
Effect of the wind on you?
Very blustery, walking arduous on higher exposed terrain, sudden buffeting gusts affecting balance.
How Wet?
Thundery rain likely developing
Risk of occasional bursts of rain from elevated cloud layers, but several hours at least may well remain dry. Increasing threat with time of more widespread heavy rain developing from the south, risk thunderstorms.
Cloud on the hills?
Very little, then lowering in rain
Most or all cloud above the hills for several hours at least. As rain develops, banks of cloud filling in across the hills, in places to some lower slopes.
Chance of cloud free summits?
80%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Weak sun and high cloud layers, soon mainly overcast. Hazy, becoming poor visibility in rain.
Temperature (at 600m)
12C, rising to 16C afternoon.
And in the valleys
13C at dawn, rising to 21C; feeling humid; dropping a few degrees in rain.
Planning Outlook
Much warmer and feeling humid as winds shift southerly through Wednesday. Low pressure to the west and a front pushing in brings a risk of thunderstorms on Thursday, soonest in Wales, advancing northeastwards over England and Scotland likely afternoon into evening - some uncertainty of timing. Low pressure is likely to linger later week into weekend - initially staying warm and humid, bringing an ongoing risk of thundery downpours, mixed with sunnier spells. Likely cooler and windier with time over the weekend. Southwesterlies then prevailing with rain at times, most over western mountains into early next week, but a trend toward higher pressure building from the south with drier conditions emerging.
