Pendle Local News & Events, Barrowford (2026)

13/01/2026

Overnight into the early hours of Tuesday 13th January 2026, we'll have dry conditions (probably) that gradually give way to a greater likelihood of light rain. By 5 am we're 51% likely to be rained on and from there the probability will only rise. By 1 pm it's 99% and then it will steadily decline. By 5 pm the likelihood of rain will be 54% and by 9 pm it will be 0% so we'll go into Wednesday on a dry note.

At midnight the temperature will be 7° and it will stay there until 7 pm when it will decline until we leave Tuesday on 3° and clear skies.

There's no rise in temperature today as the daylight hours come around and there's no chance of any sunshine.

The wind is South-Westerly and speeds are 10 mph or 9 mph for most of the day. From 4 pm it will be either 8 mph or 7 mph as the wind gradually lessens.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Good until 9 am, Moderate until noon and then Poor for an hour over the lunchtime period. From 2 pm it returns to Moderate and then Good and Very Good for the rest of the day.

Humidity is 93% at 6 am and stays around that level until 1 pm. Then it drops to 90% and by the time we leave Tuesday it's 88%.

All this suggests that the rain during the morning will not be heavy and things will actually become slightly drier during the afternoon. We are definitely due to have rain but hopefully it will not impact us too much and we might even escape a lot of it during the afternoon. Temperatures are on their way down again but it is January after all. Have a lovely day everyone.

12/01/2026

Yesterday's forecast of rain (100% mind you!) just didn't happen at my house at all! We had a much better day than expected and I hope you all did too.

Today, Monday 12th January 2026, looks like yesterday was supposed to. Overnight we're expected to have rain at percentages between 52% and 72%, The rain is not supposed to be heavy but at those percentages we should see some, at least. The South-Westerly winds are moderate at about 16 mph and the temperature is positively balmy at 8°.

Then there's a couple of hours of drizzle, potentially at 38% to 44% likely and the temperature will drop to 7°,

After daylight we'll see some sunny intervals in between the dark clouds. The rain is between 50% and 80% likely to arrive, the wind speed will drop to 14 mph and the temperature goes up to 9°. It remains at 9° between noon and approaching 5 pm but the last two hours of that will see any sunny intervals vanish and the rain become heavy and up to 90% probable.

After sunset the temperature will descend slowly to 7°, which is where it stays as we leave Monday, and the likelihood of rain will also decrease. It's at 75% by 5 pm and only 37% by 9 pm. After that we should be dry, the cloud will lighten and there may even be the odd clear spell as we approach midnight.

Winds remain South-Westerly and typically 12 mph or 13 mph. UV and Pollution are both Low. Visibility is mostly Very Good or Good. The only Moderate is when the rain is heaviest during the late afternoon.

Humidity is at 88% during the morning and only drops to 86% by 1 pm. By 8 pm it's at 90% and it remains there into Tuesday.

It's hard to know what to expect today, Pendle people. We are told rain but the humidity doesn't rise much. Is that off-set by the wind drying things slightly or is it an indication that the rain won't amount to much? In addition Visibility is mostly good - another thing that doesn't happen when we have lots of rain.

I will be taking light waterproofs and sturdy shoes when I go out and hoping I don't need the waterproofs. I hope you all have a good day and don't get too wet.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

10/01/2026

Overnight, in the early hours of Sunday 11th January 2026, we start with the possibility of snow. Due to the temperature it might end up as rain but we have to be prepared for a light dusting between 2 am and 7 am. This is because the temperature is 1° or 2° and the probability of precipitation is between 50% and 91%.

From 7 am onwards it's much more likely to be rain because we'll see the temperature rising consistently during today - although the probability of rain remains very high all day and sometimes the rain will be heavy. At 9 am the temperature will be at 3°; At 11 am, 4°, at 3 pm, 6° and at 9 pm, 9° which is where it will remain as we go into Monday. There's no possibility of ice and snow remaining under those circumstances.

We won't see any sun at all today as the rain will be consistent. Between 7 am and 11 pm the likelihood of getting wet is never below 90% and at times is 100%.

South Easterly winds are mostly between 17 mph and 19 mph; fresh but probably not pleasant with the accompanying rain. Even though temperatures will rise gradually during the day and evening, until noon the feel of the temperature will be below 0° because of the wind chill factor.

UV and Pollution are Low, Visibility is mostly Moderate with occasions when it's Poor if the rain becomes heavy. Before the rain arrives, and after it slackens off slightly, it's Good but those times are very early in the morning and after 8 pm so most of us won't notice the improvement.

Humidity is at 90% by 6 am and from there is either 1% above that or 1% below that for the majority of the day. Only as we go into Monday does it drop to 89%. This would suggest that the later-on rain will be light; if it was heavy then Humidity would only increase, not decrease.

On the whole it's not going to be a day for going out and enjoying yourselves Pendle people. There's enough wind to make any rain unpleasant in the lower-feeling temperatures and the probability of having that rain is approaching 100% for most of the day. If you do have to go out then wear waterproofs and suitable footwear. Have a good day everyone.

10/01/2026

We seem to have avoided the terrible weather that lots of other areas of the country have had to endure. I'm thankful that Pendle isn't without electricity in these temperatures. Today, Saturday January 10th 2026, should be a quieter and brighter day for everyone. The storm has moved away from us.

Overnight temperatures will get down to -2 and conditions will be cloudy but dry. There'll be 0% chance of rain and almost 0 wind as well - North Easterly and about 2 mph.

In the morning the cloud will move away and the sun will come out. We should have clear skies from 9 am to sunset. Temperatures will get up to 2° and the winds will move to the South East and remain very light at 2 mph or 3 mph.

After sunset the clear skies will continue for an hour or so but gradually cloud will move in and by midnight into Sunday the possibility of rain will be 21% and the wind will still be South Easterly but have increased to 8 mph.

We will keep the +2° from 1 pm to 4 pm but an hour after that we'll be back to 0°. From 6 pm to 10 pm we'll be at -1° but from 10 pm onwards the temperature will rise under the cloud cover and we'll end the day on 0°.

UV and Pollution will be Low and Visibility will be Very Good for pretty much all of Saturday. Towards the cloudier end of the day we might have to put up with Good instead though, so brace yourselves.

Humidity is at 89% during the morning but reduces to 81% by 1 pm. It's back at 89% shortly before we go into Sunday.

We've still got the weather warning for Snow and Ice in place. It's in effect until 3 pm today but I think that almost certainly we'll have plenty of ice and no snow to watch out for. There won't be any temperatures high enough to melt existing ice and, while we aren't likely to get any new ice today, we will have quite a lot of already existing ice that we need to be aware of. Paths and roads could be slippery and black ice could be lurking. Take care of yourselves and enjoy a weekend day of sunshine. If you've got people to see and things to do I hope you have a lovely time.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

09/01/2026

It's Friday 9th January 2026 Pendle people and it looks like we were just that bit too far North and West to feel the worst of storm Goretti.

The yellow warning of snow is still in place until noon but temperatures should be high enough for us to avoid any snow. Fingers crossed.

Overnight we will get down to 2° and North-Easterly winds continue to blow at ~15 mph but those speeds will gradually decline. By daylight they will be 9 mph and by 5 pm, 5 mph where they'll stay for the rest of Friday.

We won't have a dry day though. At midnight the probability of rain is 98% and it stays at 79% or above until 9 am. Between 10 am and 4 pm it's between 50% and 59% and from 4 pm to 8 pm it's in a gradual decline until, from 9 pm onwards it's at 0%. At no time should it be heavy though and sometimes it's forecast to be a slight drizzle.

Why then should we miss the snow? Because the temperature actually rises just enough to avoid things freezing. We're at 3° - mostly. There are a couple of hours in the morning where we dip to 2° again, but 3° is not quite cold enough for snow.

We might get some small amount of sleet around dinner time (34% probability)as temperatures begin to dip again but that is just when the rain peters out so it shouldn't be anything much. For the rest of the day after that we have overcast and dry conditions. Temperatures dip to 1° during the evening and touch 0° just before midnight into Saturday.

The issue is more likely to be ice than snow. Wind chill will knock 3° off the actual temperatures and any rain is likely to freeze when temperatures dip low enough. If we do get a scattering of sleet or snow during the evening then it's not likely to melt. If we get the rain we're promised then pavements and paths could be treacherous by Saturday morning.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Poor during the first hour of Friday, Moderate until 9 am, Good until 5 pm and Very Good after that.

Humidity starts at 98%, is at 87% by lunchtime, spends most of the afternoon and evening around there and ends up at 86% by the time we leave Friday behind.

It isn't a perfect day Pendle people. It will be cold, there will be some rain and there is definitely going to be some freezing and that will result in ice underfoot and on the roads.

On a positive note (for our local area) we should escape the worst of the snow, the strong wind and the heavy rain that will hit places to the South, South West and East of us. There are some nasty looking knots of weather over Manchester and sweeping across to York. Wales doesn't escape either.

Make sure you have your sturdiest footwear on, drive carefully and wrap up warm. Look after yourselves everyone.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

08/01/2026

Overnight into the early hours of Thursday 8th January 2026 we will be at 0° with very little wind and light cloud. A calm night.

By 10 am we might have got up to +1° but the almost non-existent winds and light cloud continue.

The day's top temperature of +3° is reached by 2 pm. By then the cloud is thicker and darker and there is a 22% chance of rain.

By 4 pm the probability of precipitation is 45% and some of it could well be snow because temperatures are down to 2° by then. Wind speeds have picked up slightly to 8 mph and winds are Easterly which is a cold direction.

The low point - temperature wise - of the day is from 5 pm onwards when we are due to have 1° and that is cold enough for snow. By that time the probability is 58% and that percentage only rises as the evening and night go on.

By 7 pm it's 73% and from 9 pm onward it's above 90%. We're going to get more snow Pendle people. The BBC has a yellow warning of snow in effect from 5 pm today until midday on Friday as ...
"Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions later Thursday and into Friday.
- Possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers
- Possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel
- Some rural communities could become cut off
- Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected."

The wind steadily increases in speed to 14 mph by the time we go into Friday and it remains Easterly. The feel of the temperature between 7 pm and midnight is going to be -3°.

UV and Pollution remain Low and Visibility is Good until 3pm when it becomes Moderate. That is when the cloud is noticeably thicker and when the possibility of sleet/snow approaches a 50% likelihood. After 3 pm Visibility is Moderate and after 5 pm it is Poor.

Humidity is at 89% by 6 am. By 1 pm it drops to 85% and by the time we go into Friday it is at 92%.

The morning is going to be the better half of the day Pendle people. If you have any errands or jobs to do, then do them before 4 pm. After that the wind picks up, the probability of snow increases and the temperature remains very cold. It's wrap-up-warm weather so wear your suitable footwear and take care if you're driving in snowy conditions. Poor visibility and snow hitting the windscreen is not a good combination. Look after yourselves everyone.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

07/01/2026

Overnight temperatures into Wednesday 7th January 2026 will drop down to 2° and stay there until 11 am when they'll reach the day's height of 3°. After 3 pm they'll start to fall again and we'll leave today on 1°. It's not going to be a warm day Pendle people.

Added to that a moderately breezy Westerly wind of ~ 14 mph will reduce the day's temperature by 5° at times, making it feel like -3° when the sun is not with us. From dinner time onwards the wind will reduce in speed, getting down to 4 mph by the time we go into tomorrow. It will also turn more Southerly but will still have a windchill factor of 3° making temperatures feel more like -2° than the +1° they are due to be in reality.

It could be quite a decent day for sun; not as bright as it has been, but there is no likelihood of rain or snow between 5 am and 8 pm so, even with the light cloud we are forecast, there could be a number of sunny intervals at any point during the daylight hours.

Overnight there is an up to 86% chance of drizzle or light rain but that becomes less and less likely the nearer to daylight we get. At the point where there is most likelihood of rain the temperatures will be 3° which is too warm for snow but then temperatures will drop a degree and that is quite cold enough for any wetness to freeze and make for icy conditions in the morning. We have a yellow warning of ice that is in effect until 10 am and the BBC warns of "Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths" and some possible disruption on the roads.

After 6 pm we might get a few clear spells which is why the temperature drops quite quickly. After 8 pm, once again, there is a slowly increasing possibility of rain and we will leave today on a 25% probability of precipitation which may fall as sleety/snowy stuff, if it arrives at all.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good. Humidity starts at 86% in the first couple of hours after midnight. Then it steadily declines to 71% by 2 pm before beginning to rise again. We will enter Thursday with Humidity on 80%.

There is 0% chance of getting wet today - as long as you are out and about between 5 am and 8 pm. Either side of that you might get wet but it's not likely. The thing to watch out for today is icy conditions underfoot and on the roads. Make sure you've got your grippiest footwear on and wrap up warm against the cold. Have a good day everyone.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

06/01/2026

We're down to -5° tonight, Tuesday 6th January 2026 but after 1 am the temperature should gradually rise until we get to 0° by 9 am. The increase in temperature is because we have an increase in cloud cover. From 2 am onward light cloud builds and gradually becomes dark cloud until by 9 am we are 45% likely to have snow. And that percentage is only going to increase. By 11 am we are 69% likely to have snow.

The temperature is also increasing though. At 11 am it is 2° and by noon it is 3° and that is too warm for snow. Somewhere between 11 am and noon any snow should turn to rain and we should see slush, melt water and the snow and ice gradually disappearing.

For the rest of Tuesday we remain at 3° and the likelihood of rain varies from 56% at 1 pm to 100%; with rain being more likely from 5 pm onwards. We are due heavy rain between 9 pm and 11 pm, which is when the likelihood is 100%.

3° is very close to the point where we could have snow and ice though and with that in mind we have a yellow weather warning for snow and ice that is in place until 11 am but acknowledgement from the BBC that wind chill will make the temperature feel like -1° even when it's +3°. So we could have lingering pockets of snow and ice in sheltered spots even after several hours of getting wet. However it does seem as though the current cold spell will be finished at some point during this afternoon.

Winds are shifting towards the South West - a warmer direction - and they gradually increase in speed as the day goes on. Overnight wind speeds are ~ 4 mph but they reach 10 mph by mid afternoon and 14 mph during the evening. By the end of the day wind direction has moved entirely to the West.

UV and Pollution are both Low; Visibility is Very Good until 5 am when the thicker cloud drops it to Good. It drops to Moderate by 8 am and stays there until 4 pm when it drops again to Poor. From then until the end of the day Visibility varies according to the amount of cloud cover and rain we get. Heavier and darker cloud coverage with heavier rain means poor Visibility. Less of either will bring it up to Moderate.

Humidity is at 90% by 7 am and 96% by 9 am. Then it starts to fall and gets to 87% by 3 pm. After that it rises again and we leave Tuesday on 91%.

It's a day of weather changes Pendle people. We start cold and snowy and end cold and wet. This means you need to dress for two types of weather if you're going to be out for the majority of the day. You'll still need to be aware of the potential risks of ice and snow in the morning and the risks of slush and rain in the afternoon and evening. In either case you'll still need to dress warm. I hope you all have a good day and look after yourselves.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

05/01/2026

It's another cold day for Monday 5th January 2026! We're down to -5° overnight and into the early hours of the morning. The days' highest temperature is 0°, which we'll maintain between noon and 4 pm, before we see temperatures begin to fall again. By the end of Monday we're due to be on -4°.

The forecast is for 0% rain all day so we should have lots of sunshine and clear skies - which is why it's so cold. The wind has very little to do with the actual temperatures because the top wind speed today is 6 mph. It's going to be near enough still.

The wind direction is cold though because it's from the North mainly, with a little bit of the East in the mix. As a consequence the 0° will feel like -3° although it shouldn't make much difference to the temperatures we'll have when it's dark as the wind is even slighter then; 4 mph.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good. Humidity starts at 78% overnight and drops to 66% by noon. From 3 pm it starts to rise again and we're at 82% by the end of the day. This rise indicates a change in the weather is coming.

We still have the weather warning for ice and snow in place and, considering we've already had the snow, we might need to watch out mainly for ice, treacherous black ice, low sun in your eyes and lots and lots of frost on windscreens. It's not going to be a pleasant commute so be sure to take care of yourselves, add in a few extra minutes to allow for road conditions and, if you're walking, put on your winter clothing and footwear.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

03/01/2026

Today, Sunday 4th January 2026, we're in for another cold day. Temperatures will go from -3° overnight to a height of +1° between noon and 5 pm before dipping back to -3° as we go into Monday - which for some will be the first day back at work.

Once again, the weather is clear until 2 pm when we'll get approximately 5 hours of varying cloud cover until the skies clear again after 6 pm and remain clear as we leave the weekend behind.

We can expect a bright and sunny morning, an afternoon of light cloud and clear intervals building up to a 31% chance of snow and ice between 4 pm and 6 pm. Then the skies clear and we are back to 0% chance of precipitation.

We have a yellow weather warning of snow and ice - "Starts:15:00 GMT Sunday 4 January15:00 (GMT) Sun 4 Jan
Ends:12:00 GMT Monday 5 January12:00 (GMT) Mon 5 Jan
Snow and ice has the potential to cause disruption to travel in places later Sunday through to Monday morning.

- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
- Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."

Winds remain North-Westerly and a maximum of 9 mph so it will be a still, cold and bright day; potentially one that's treacherous underfoot.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good even during the hours when we're most at risk of some snow. That might indicate that the snow won't be extensive or heavy. Hopefully, at 31% probability, it won't be anything at all!

Humidity is 74% just as the sun rises, 61% by 1 pm and up to 79% around 8 pm before declining slightly during the first part of the night under the clearer skies.

A day for wrapping up warm Pendle people, making sure that underfoot conditions are safe and, hopefully, enjoying a bit of sunshine. Take care everyone and have a good day.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

03/01/2026

In theory, today Saturday the 3rd January 2026, will be clear all day. For the whole 24 hours we're promised mostly clear skies with only the occasional cloud. That means we should have about seven hours of sunshine. It also means we're due some cold weather. Overnight temperatures will drop to -3° and feel more like -8°in a North-Westerly wind of ~12 mph.

The day's top temperature will be reached at noon and is likely to be 1°. There will be widespread frosts. Winds will remain North-Westerly and roughly 9 mph or 10 mph after sunrise. After sunset temperatures will begin to fall and by the time we leave Saturday behind temperatures will be -2° and feel more like -7°.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good. Humidity starts at 69%, reaches the day's low of 58% at 2 pm and is back up to 66% by the end of Saturday.

It's a cold, crisp winter's day Pendle people. Enjoy the sunshine and watch out for low sun dazzle if you're driving. Wrap up warm if you're out and about and put your non-slip footwear on. Have a good day everyone and take care of yourselves.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

02/01/2026

It's going to feel cold overnight into Friday January 2nd 2026 Pendle people. Light cloud with clear intervals will give way to cloudless skies and temperatures will get down to -2° but will feel more like -7°. Winds are North-Westerly and ~11 mph.

The cloudless conditions will continue throughout the day and into Saturday. This means we should have continuous sunshine during the hours of daylight and clear skies afterwards. It also means that daytime temperatures will be low. The day's height of 2° is reached at Noon and stays there until 4 pm. It will feel more like -2° though.

After sunset the temperature will decline to -1° by the end of the day and feel like -6°. Winds continue North-Westerly and between 8 mph and 11 mph.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good all day. Humidity starts at 75% during the hours after midnight, drops to 63% by 1 pm and then rises to 71% by the time we leave Friday behind.

It's going to be cold Pendle people so there are things to watch out for even as we enjoy the sunshine we're promised. Cars could well need scraping off as frost looks like it will be a feature. There could be ice underfoot so take care when you're out walking and, if driving during the commuting hours, watch out for low sun dazzling your eyes. Otherwise have a good day everyone. It's, hopefully, a positive sign for 2026 that we're starting on such a bright note.
