Weekend Weather 30th Nov - 1st Dec 2002

This is our regular Friday round-up of what's in store for the weekend. Still no sign of the excellent Online Weather mountain forecast.

• The Met Office says it's a misty start for Saturday with rain edging east later looks darker and wetter in the north west. Sunday slightly better, with scattered rain. If you want to see where it's been raining already - yeah, very useful - take a look at the rainfall animation.

• The BBC Weather site uses Met Office data, but is generally easier to follow. General outlook for Saturday says mist and fog clearing then cloud and freshening wind from the west with outbreaks of rain. Some western parts getting drier and clearer later on. Sunday more rain, some heavy plus fresh winds, gale force in exposed parts. Hmmm... Check specific areas: Fort William / Kendal / Betws-y-Coed / Aviemore / Skipton / Glossop (Peak) / Brecon / Milton Keynes. Not lovely anywhere, temperatures near normal, but wind will make it feel cooler.

Saturday's general forecast from Online Weather says cold front pushing eastwards brings rain, though eastern areas may stay dry-ish till the afternoon. Sunday intense low means it'll be cloudy, rainy and windy (from the south) pretty much everywhere.

It could be colder and wetter... Eastern areas may be dry till Saturday afternoon.
But it's till not very nice.

Verdict Best pack your waterproofs and some warm mid-layers as the rain and wind on the

Craven Disclaimer Hey come on, we all know mountain weather's unpredictable, and while the above forecasts and links are a guide to what the weather may do, remember that mountain areas also tend to generate their own conditions, temperatures are much cooler up top than in the valleys and conditions can be totally different from down in the valleys.
