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 Tuesday 19th August 2008

A heavy spell of rain yesterday evening, together with lighter rain through the night and a brief heavier spell early this afternoon has taken us to just over 123 mm, already above the total for the whole of July - and there's still 12 days to go! Not surprisingly, it's been yet another generally dull, overcast day with extensive hill fog at times though occasionally relieved by a sunny spell or two. It's been a shade cooler today, 17⁰C the early afternoon high which tempted us to put the washing out, only to have to rush it back in again as the rain started, but 15 to 16⁰C being more typical. Another couple of days of mixed weather are forecast but it does appear slightly more hopeful for the weekend when we should see more sunshine than showers!
