  2. Dry overnight and no thunderstorms. Minimum temperature 11.8c. Some early watery sunshine but now generally overcast. Tops clear. Fells that are not covered in bracken looking very brown. Met Office - Yellow weather warning for rain for period from 1900-2359 tonight and then 0000-1200 tomorrow which comes as a welcome relief for firefighters that are now constantly out for brain dead visitors who think that BBQ's are good idea when everywhere is tinder dry.
  3. Dry overnight with a minimum temperature of 11.4c, some brief very early sunshine and now leaden skies but all hilltops clear. Current temp 19.5c. Lake District lack of rain looks to be coming to an end tomorrow with 13.9mm forecast.

Existing yellow warning for thunderstorms tomorrow also in place from 1200 to 2100. Helicopter going over, suspect another busy day for MRT. Coastguard was called in on Thursday for a rescue from Striding Edge.
  11. Now 22 days since last rain ... quite remarkable for the lake district
  12. Congrats to Carlisle Utd League one football next season ... bad luck Stockport
  13. Dry overnight with a low of 4.6c. Sunny intervals to start. Routes up Blencathra look busy. Good luck to Carlisle in the play-off final today against Stockport
  14. Snow late afternoon early evening gave the highest peaks a covering. Overnight low of -4.7c added to the wintry picture this morning. Blue sky spring sunshine quickly removing wintry look.
  15. All the high fells have a good covering. Even Wolf Crag on the Old Coach Road has a covering. Sleet falling here during heavier rain showers. Current temp 2.9c
  16. Later tonight overnight into tomorrow heavy rain/sleet turning to heavy snow over the summit of Blencathra and continuing throughout Thursday into the the early hours of Friday
  17. I feel your pain …it’s as bad as I have ever known, roads impassable for farmers and buses … parked on double yellows and passing places. Worse than that though is the sense of entitlement of many of the visitors
  18. my local mountain Blencathra (2,848') has snow forecast to fall from Tuesday to Friday next week, at some point during each day. Before that however perfect lakeland hill-walking and rock climbing weather. Very busy at valley level, fortunately not many seem to be able to make above 1,500 feet. Catbells the limit for most.
  19. Not as chilly as I though it might be overnight, with low of 3.0c. Sunny start which comes as welcome relief after 4 days of almost constant rain. Becks and lakes all nicely full. Highest pressure now since last Tuesday afternoon.
  20. Torrential rain at times both overnight and into this morning. 12.6mm so far and further heavy rain due during this evening. Waterfalls and rivers will be impressive tomorrow. Overnight low of 5.9c and currently 7.3c. At least the mobile fish and chip van visits tonight
  21. Drizzle throughout the night, breeze picking up and the first spring lambs starting to appear.
  22. Overnight low of -8.6c. 100% snow cover with a depth of 3cm. Watery sunshine at present with temp of -1.4c.
  23. Heavy now here too and now a snow weather warning until 1600 today
