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.
Friday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Warm
Comfortable temperatures on the hills, 10 to 15C on tops, feeling pleasantly warm especially on lower ground. Beware of feeling cooler if exposed to wind on higher terrain.

Planning Outlook
Higher pressure to the southwest this weekend, bringing warmer and drier conditions to Wales. Showery rain affecting Scotland on Saturday, some patches reaching northwest England; staying very windy and cool in Scotland and northern England on Saturday too. Sunday will be a clearing day for most: early rain in Scottish Highlands easing and most cloud lifting off summits, sunshine but 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 cooler westerly air likely returns at times mid-late week. Pressure generally trending higher, but extensively settled weather may remain elusive in the near-term.
