North West

A colder week to come compared to the weekend.

  • Dry through this evening with clear skies at first
  • Mist and low cloud will develop through the night, particularly in the east
  • A mild night for most, with light winds
  • Minimum Temperature 6C

Monday:

  • Turning cloudy through the morning, with some outbreaks of rain and perhaps snow over the tops of the hills during the afternoon
  • Feeling colder with strengthening winds
  • Maximum Temperature 10C

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

  • Feeling colder through mid-week with sunny spells and scattered showers, wintry over the hills
  • Colder overnight with patchy frosts

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Friday will stay rather cool and showery, especially in northern and western areas, where more-persistent rain or hill sleet is possible for a time
  • Then, next weekend will continue on a cool theme, with high pressure to the north probably becoming more dominant, but still with lower pressure to the south
  • There should be a good deal of dry weather on the whole, though spells of rain may get close to the far south from time to time
  • The following week (17th) is likely to see a transition to unsettled conditions, with Atlantic weather systems bringing wind and rain at times
  • The south and east could see the best of the drier interludes
  • Temperatures are likely to be below average at first with frosty nights, then above average later

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Confidence is low, but through the remainder of March changeable weather patterns are most likely
  • This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells
  • Into early April, there may be a transition to more-frequent drier and more settled spells
  • Temperatures will probably be above average overall

Visibility in km. Above 50km is 'good'. Humidity and air pollution make it worse. Theoretical maximum is 300km/200 miles in clean dry polar air.

On the South Downs, at ~ 170m/500ft, the horizon is is ~ 45km/30 miles away. On a mountain at 1,000m/3,000ft, it is ~ 160km/100 miles away. Formula: horizon in km = √ (13 x altitude in m)

Notes

  • Max Height (solar noon) is when the sun is highest in the sky.
  • Day length is dawn to dusk as there is enough light for walking for at least 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, even on an overcast day.
  • At 'Light' (nautical dawn) the horizon becomes visible. At 'Dawn' (civil dawn) there is enough light to read, and drivers can switch their lights off. Finally the sun rises.
  • After sunset, there is still enough light to read until 'Dusk' (civil dusk) or lighting up time for drivers. The horizon is still visible until 'Dark' (nautical dusk).
  • Times will vary if there is a hill on the horizon.

Notes

  • The percentage of the moon which is illuminated doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, it is much brighter. A quarter moon (1/2 disk visible) give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a quarter moon if its high in the sky (after dusk for a growing moon, before dawn for a shrinking moon).
  • Sky glow (light reflected by air or clouds) from nearby cities, and especially snow on the ground also effect light levels.
  • Times will vary a few minutes, as (i) these figures are for the centre of the county the walk is in, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon, and (iii) if you are on a hill
  • Sunlight is ~ 1,000,000 times brighter than moonlight.
  • Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!
