Peak District: latest infra-red satellite

Thursday

Weather

Cloudy with showers, these probably merging to more persistent rain at times. The rain or showers could be occasionally heavy and perhaps thundery. However, there is also a chance for brighter intervals, especially across the northwest of the Peak District. Hill fog is possible at times. Despite the cloud and rain, still feeling quite warm.

Visibility

Moderate, but poor or very poor in heavier rain or hill fog.

Hill fog

Well broken to broken above 500m, especially across eastern and southern areas during the early morning and then again during the evening.

Maximum winds above 400m

Mainly easterly, increasing 25 to 30 mph over the tops.

Outlook

Friday

Cloudy with spells of rain during the morning and hill fog. Through the afternoon becoming drier and brighter from the west, also breezy, with perhaps isolated showers arriving.

Saturday

Unsettled. Rain or showers for much of the day, heavy and quite persistent at times, but with a chance for brighter intervals. A risk of gales later over the tops, especially later, so feeling cooler than on previous days.

Sunday

Rain continuing through the day, heavy at times. Any brighter intervals most likely to be across eastern areas but, even there, probably few and far between and limited until the evening. Windy, even at low levels, and feeling cold over the tops.
