Weather Forecast from the Lake District National Park Weatherline with Fell Conditions (Winter only) now available online

The absence of a forecast from both the Weather line and MWIS recently prompted me to go to the horse's mouth. For forecasts for all the mountain areas in the UK go to the Met Office Mountain area forecasts.

Summary of last 24 hours to 6 pm on Sunday 6th July 2008

Although the morning started reasonably bright with high cloud, this soon lowered with hill fog shrouding the fells and, though it brightened briefly late in the morning, the overcast conditions returned for the afternoon. There was some rain overnight and further occasional light showers during the morning but these have been more or less continuous through the afternoon with 9.4 mm now showing on the rain gauge. The temperature has been similar to yesterday, typically in the range of 12 to 14⁰C with a light wind. A week of mixed weather is forecast for the rest of the week with shower or rain, some heavy, but also some bright or sunny spells. (See forecast links above and at bottom of page)
