Weekend Weather 29/30 September 2001


This is our regular Friday round-up of what's in store for the weekend, but it's been revised so that the clickable map below is accessible all week round from the menu above in the 'Get Outdoors' section.

And this weekend? Break out the waterproofs according to Online Weather's mountain forecast. There's going to be 'significant changes' in the next few days with gales sweeping in from deep Atlantic depressions and a load of rain, especially in the north. Temperatures around 12-13 degrees C on the tops today, Friday. Maybe getting better in Scotland come Sunday.

Rain clearing east on Saturday then sunny spells and isolated showers says the Met Office, similar on Sunday. Rain in central and east clearing graduallyis Saturday's general forecast from Online Weather, most areas becoming dry though. Sunday a 'repeat of Saturday'. most dry with sunshine and some showers then more rain and strong winds overnight.

Check the Met Office three-day pressure animation to see those lows sweeping in...

The rain doesn't look like being sustained, lots of showers though
Sounds like the beginning of autumn as we know it.

Verdict Showery on the tops, with the possibility of heavy rain in the mountains as always, so make sure you have your waterproofs handy. Fleece and possibly hat and gloves for stops.

Access For latest access see our latest foot and mouth update. Some areas in the N Yorks Moors are set to open on Monday, meanwhile there's a new outbreak at Kirby Lonsdale in the South Lakes.
