Pendle Local News & Events, Barrowford (2026)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

01/01/2026

Today, Thursday 1st January 2026, New Year's Day, will start with a 99% probability of light rain and temperatures of 5° overnight.

Between 6 am and 8 am the rain will reduce both in probability and intensity and we'll get to 9am on a forecast of clear skies and sunshine. At that point the temperature will be 3° and there will be Westerly winds of around 11 mph.

The sun will continue unbroken until noon. Temperatures will reach the day's height of 5° and the winds will continue Westerly and roughly 13 mph.

During the afternoon cloud will move in and the sunshine will reduce to intervals between clouds in a more overcast sky. Winds will be ~ 15 mph but there's 0% chance of rain.

After sunset the clear intervals will continue, as will the 0% chance of rain. Temperatures will drop to 2° from 8 pm onwards and the Westerly winds will be 13 mph or 14 mph.

From 9 pm onwards the clear spells will vanish under cloud and there is a possibility of rain during the first half of Thursday night but it is always less than 20% likely. Winds will reduce to 12 mph.

UV and Pollution are both Low; Visibility is Good overnight and until the early morning rain disappears. After that it is Very Good. Humidity hits 90% overnight at 4 am but reduces to 69% by 3 pm. It's at 71% by the time we go into Friday 2nd January 2026.

I hope you all have a good day on this moderately breezy, cold but quite bright first day of 2026. For most of the day the increase in wind speed will mean that temperatures will feel somewhere between 0° and -3° so it's definitely a day for wrapping up warm. Take care everyone.

31/12/2025

It's going to be cold tonight and into the morning of Wednesday 31st December 2025. It's clear overnight so temperatures will get down to -1° and stay below zero until after 9 am. Light Westerly winds of 5 mph won't reduce the feel of the temperature - which is something to be thankful for - and we'll have early sunshine from the time that the sun rises until the first light clouds start to move in at about 10 am.

For the rest of the morning and the lunchtime period clouds will thicken so that sunny skies will become increasingly rare sunny intervals. Temperatures get up to the day's maximum of 4° by noon and are due to stay there for the rest of the day. Winds remain Westerly and steadily increase to 10 mph by the end of the lunchtime period.

During the rest of the afternoon cloud thickens, sunny intervals vanish and the wind speed increases to 12 mph.

Into the evening and we have the first possibility of rain. Starting at 7 pm with 11% probability it will be at 41% by the time New Year's Eve finishes. The rain is likely to be drizzle more than anything. Wend speeds get up to 16 mph and remain Westerly. Temperatures are unlikely to drop further because of the cloud cover.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Good or Very Good all day. Humidity is at 89% by 6 am. Then it drops to 81% by 1 pm and, after 3 pm starts to rise again to 83% by 4 pm before slowly dropping to 79% as we leave the day behind. This lowering of humidity seems to support the idea that any rain will be very light.

It should be a good day weather-wise Pendle people and, of course, it's New Year's Eve. I hope you have all had a good 2025 and will have an even better 2026. Enjoy the last day of the year, have a celebration - even if it's only a little one - and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

14-day weather forecast for Nelson.

30/12/2025

Today, Tuesday 30th December 2025, is due to be a day much like yesterday. Clear spells will develop in places through the night, and it will remain dry with a 0% chance of rain, temperatures of 2° and North-Easterly winds of 6 mph.

By 9 am temperatures will start to rise slightly and we may see some glimpses of the sun in breaks through the cloud cover. We're still at 0% chance of rain and the wind speed should drop to 4 mph.

By Noon the day's highest temperature of 5° will be reached, any sun is likely to be gone, although we're still not due any rain, and the wind speed and direction remain unchanged.

The temperature will start to decline again at 3 pm and we are at a 14% chance of rain for that hour. The wind is very gradually moving more Northerly but the speed remains negligible at 3 mph.

From 4 pm to 8 pm the cloud will have a number of clear spells appear within it and temperatures are back at 2°. There's still a 0% chance of rain under the clearer skies but the winds remain slight and Northerly.

From 8 pm onwards the skies are forecast to be clear, the temperature will drop to 1° and the wind, still slight at 3 mph, starts to move gradually more towards the North-West.

As we leave Tuesday behind we're at 0° so we can expect frosty conditions on Wednesday morning.

UV and Pollution are both Low, Visibility is Very Good all day and Humidity starts at 79% in the morning, drops to 74% by Noon and starts the slow climb back up again at sunset. By the last hour of Tuesday it's at 79%.

It should be another calm and settled day Pendle people. A few glimpses of sunshine in the morning will be most welcome if they arrive and, with very little chance of rain, it should be a perfect day for getting any errands done that you might need before New Year's Eve. You'll need to wrap up warm because it will be cold. Have a good day everyone and take care of yourselves.

29/12/2025

Tonight into Monday 29th December 2025, will be largely dry with plenty of cloud and just a chance of a few brief clear breaks in places, especially towards dawn. A colder night than yesterday, temperatures will get down to 1° with 0% chance of rain and East-North East winds of only 4 mph.

All day today things will remain settled. There will be areas of thick cloud with the chance of brief spells of brightness at times. Skies will be mostly overcast though. Temperatures will reach their maximum of 5° by noon and start to decline from that only as we go into Tuesday. Winds remain gentle, around 5 mph to 7 mph typically and from the same colder directions.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility remains Very Good. Humidity is at 100% overnight and drops to 87% at 8 am. By Noon it's at 78% and remains there until it starts to increase again at 4 pm. By the close of day it's at 80%.

A day much like yesterday Pendle people but just a shade colder. We'll be lucky to get any sun but we aren't likely to get any rain either so we should still be able to get out and about. Enjoy yourselves and have a good day everyone.

28/12/2025

Today, Sunday 28th December 2025, should be another dry day with 0% chance of rain. The winds remain East-North-East but are quieter than they were yesterday, typically 6 mph or 7 mph but reducing to 4 mph as we go into Monday.

We are due some sunshine when there are slight gaps in the cloud cover but that will only be over the lunchtime hour and into the first couple of hours of the afternoon. Other than that the skies will be overcast with total coverage from light clouds.

Temperatures will start at 5° overnight, dip to 4° during the hours just before dawn and reach the day's height of 6° by noon. After sunset temperatures will begin to fall and will get back to 4° by 6 pm and that is where they'll stay for the rest of Sunday.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good all day. Humidity reaches 85% by 4 am and stays there until 11 am when it starts to reduce gradually. By Noon it's at 78% and stays there until it begins to rise again at 4 pm. It's back at 88% by the time we leave Sunday behind.

On the whole a settled day with no unpleasant surprises Pendle people. The wind is slighter than it has been so there will only be a couple of degrees knocked off the feel of the actual temperature. It's still cold but very bearable for the time of the year. Have a good day everyone.

27/12/2025

Overnight tonight, 27th December 2025, we're due to have clear spells with only the occasional cloud. This means that the temperature will be low, 3°, and will feel more like -1° because the Easterly winds are about 12 mph and that will knock roughly 4° off the feel of the temperatures.

As the sun rises the temperature will also rise, it will be about 5° by 10 am and reach the day's maximum of 7° by 1 pm. Unfortunately the clear spells will not translate into much sunshine because the cloud will thicken as the morning goes on, and, while we might have a few sunny spells between 10 am and noon, the rest of the day will be cloudy and overcast with no chance of sun.

By 6 pm the temperature will start to decline and we'll finish the day on 5°. For the most part there is 0% chance of rain but around 7 pm there's a 24% chance of rain for that hour before it goes back to 0% again by 8 pm.

The wind remains mostly Easterly and speeds are typically 13 mph with no real reduction or increase in speeds as Saturday goes on. UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good all day. Humidity reaches 100% during the early hours of the morning and doesn't begin to decline until 9 am. By 2 pm it's at 83% and it begins to rise again at 4 pm. By the time we go into Sunday it's at 85%.

It will be another cold feeling day Pendle people so wrap up warm if you need to go out. Otherwise it's weekend and it's Christmas week so find yourself something interesting to do. Whatever you get up to have a good day everyone.

26/12/2025

Overnight into Boxing day, Friday 26th December 2025, we'll see light cloud with clear intervals and temperatures of 3°.

As the sun rises the clear intervals will become sunny intervals and we should have a nice morning. Temperatures will hit the day's height of 5° at Noon and stay there until they start to decline at 5 pm. We're also due to have a few hours of clear skies between 2 pm and 10 pm. This means we should have bright sunshine in the mid-afternoon until sunset. By the time we go into Saturday 27th December we'll be on 4° and the clear skies will have given way to light cloud and clear intervals, exactly as we started the day.

Winds are typically 13 mph or 14 mph all day and North Easterly. That's a fairly cold direction at this time of year and it will knock 4° or 5° off the feel of the temperatures so, despite having temperatures well above freezing, it will feel cold when you're out in it.

UV and Pollution are both Low and Visibility is Very Good all day. Humidity is at the morning's highest at 8 am - 89% - but then it declines to 80% by 1 pm and stays there for the rest of the daylight hours. By the time we leave Boxing day Humidity will have risen again to 91%.

It looks like being a cold and relatively clear day Pendle people. Just perfect for the traditional Boxing Day walk with the family (anything to make up for yesterday's meals). If you're out and about in the countryside have a lovely time but wrap up warm. I hope you all got lots of gifts for Christmas and you all had a lovely day. Enjoy today and enjoy the sunshine we're supposed to have.
