Pendle Local News & Events

04/09/2024

Today is very much like yesterday was. There are differences but they are slight. The overall forecast is for light cloud and sunny spells from sunrise to sunset.
Between 1pm and 4pm there is a 60% chance of rain rather than the 30% chance we had yesterday. The wind is from a more Northerly direction, with less chance of a Westerly wind than we had but it's still light and still unlikely to have much in the way of a wind chill factor.
The temperature is a degree cooler than yesterday and that's it. It should be a good day weather-wise.
I hope you all have a lovely day this Wednesday 4th September 2024. We're half way through the working week Pendle people and I hope you're having a good one.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

03/09/2024

Tuesday 030924 should be a better day than yesterday. There is never more than a 20% chance of rain and the cloud is thin enough for some sun to peep through at times although we can't be sure we'll get anything other than high cloud.
The wind is mostly from the West and much less blustery than yesterday so, even though we're only promised temperatures in the mid teens at the warmest, there isn't much wind chill.
Humidity is dropping and neither UV nor Pollen count are high so we should have a day when we can all get out and about at some point.
Have a good day Pendle people.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

01/09/2024

It looks like an overcast Monday today Pendle people. In fact, until noon there's a 10% to 40% chance of fog which, while unlikely, does show the kind of dull day we can expect.
From noon until about 4pm the dull and murky conditions are due to turn into thick cloud and a 50% or 60% possibility of rain. From 4pm onwards we're back to the dull and overcast conditions again with the same likelihood of fog.
Temperatures are in the mid to high teens at their highest point with slight winds from the South and West knocking a couple of degrees off that for wind chill. Humidity is very high from 90% to 95% all day which may make things feel very sticky.
It's Monday Pendle people and lots of you are back at work or school. I hope you all have a good day.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

31/08/2024

We have a contradictory weather forecast today, Sunday 1st September 2024, courtesy of the Met. On one hand we have a day which is supposed to be mainly dry - only 2 points all day have a 40% chance of any rain - every other time is much less than that. On the other hand we have a yellow warning of thunderstorms. We'll just have to see what we actually get Pendle people!
During the early part of the morning we have overcast conditions that thin and allow some sunshine to peep through at about 10am. Those light-cloud-with-sunshine-at-times conditions remain for the rest of the daylight hours and just become light cloud for the rest of Sunday.
If there's any rain at all, it's 40% likely at 4pm and again at 8pm to 9pm. Easterly winds are quite brisk with gusts of around 30mph up to lunchtime but reducing slightly after that.
This means that the temperature - due to be in the upper teens at its maximum - will feel a couple of degrees cooler than that when you're out and about.
UV is still medium, pollen count is still high and humidity is high as well but should briefly drop to the high 70% levels at mid afternoon before climbing again as evening rolls around.
It's still weekend, Pendle people and I hope you all have a lovely day and manage to see more sun than you do storms!

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

30/08/2024

Another lovely day Pendle people! It looks like August (and summer) might be set to go out with a band rather than a whimper because at this point the weekly forecast looks good as well. Things can always change in the UK weather though so maybe don't get your hopes up too high.
Back to today, Friday 30th August 2024. For the first couple of hours after sunrise, the cloud will be light and there will be sunny spells. From 8am until noon we're set to have unbroken sunshine. From lunchtime until about 4pm the broken cloud will return and from then until sunset we have another spell of clear skies and unbroken sunshine.
If it hasn't rained (20% likely) before sunrise then the likelihood of any rain at all is less than 5% so we should have a dry day. Temperatures will be higher than yesterday - probably between 15° and 19° - and will stay high for longer. This hasn't meant that UV is high, although pollen count is. UV is forecast to be medium but, personally, I would take care if I was going to be out in the sun all day!
Winds are very light but will veer from the Southerly directions to the Northerly directions as the day goes on so wind chill will knock a degree or two off the actual temperatures.
It's nearly weekend, Pendle people. Have a good day whatever you get up to.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

28/08/2024

In theory today is a better day than yesterday was. There should be sunshine and cloud but the cloud is not forecast to be heavy at any point during the day though we might get some rain in the morning.
The likelihood of rain is between 30% and 50% up to noon. After that there shouldn't be any rain and the cloud will gradually thin until we can expect a sunny and clear end to the day.
The wind is stronger than it was yesterday so the temperatures are cooler - more like mid teens than high teens - with the wind chill knocking 4° or 5° off that.
Pollen count is still high, UV is still moderate and the humidity should drop as the drier conditions have an impact.
I hope you all have a great day Pendle people.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

28/08/2024

Today should be better than yesterday. There are periods of time when the cloud cover is quite heavy, notably early in the morning, just as it gets light and when the commute begins and again mid afternoon for an hour or so. For the rest of the day we can expect lighter cloud and periods of sunshine.
Unfortunately, even when the cloud is lighter, around the periods of sunshine, we could see rain at almost any point. The likelihood of rain never drops below 30% and never gets above 80% but it's there all day.
Winds are much lighter than they've been for a couple of days and mostly from the South so wind chill is not huge. Temperatures are higher than they have been - up to late teens - so we should get some welcome warmth in whatever periods of sunshine we're granted.
Pollen count is high, UV is moderate and humidity is falling as the day goes on.
I hope you all have a wonderful day Pendle people, in the last week of August. I can't believe how fast this year is going!

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

26/08/2024

It's Tuesday 27th August and the weather is not going to be as nice as it was yesterday. We're due similar conditions to what we got yesterday between sunrise and 11am but after that things go downhill.
Between noon and 7pm we're due rain with a likelihood of between 70% and +95% of getting wet at any point in that time.
From 7pm onwards we'll have drier, but still cloudy weather, to take us into Wednesday.
Wind is likely to be a dominant feature today as it's going to be over 30mph more or less all day with gusts of up to 36mph. Still from the South and West we'll not have quite as much wind chill factor as we would have if it was from the colder directions.
Temperatures are at their highest at noon, just before the bad weather kicks in. We'll probably see highs in the mid teens but it will feel like 11° or 12° in the wind.
Humidity will become higher again in the afternoon but pollen and UV are not going to be a factor.
I hope you all have a good day Pendle people and those of you back at work, drive carefully and take care.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

26/08/2024

Today, August bank Holiday Monday, should be a better day than yesterday. There is likely to be rain at any point during the morning but the early part of the day - up to 9am - is characterised by thicker, greyer cloud, with a 70% chance of rain, whilst the later part of the morning is a mixture of sunshine and showers. The probability of rain is lower and gradually reducing.
By the earlier part of the afternoon the rain should be gone and we should keep the sunshine and light cloud until it goes dark.
It's going to be warmer than yesterday as well - highs up to the mid teens according to the Met - so we might get a degree or so higher than their pessimistic forecast.
The Southerly and Westerly winds are still brisk at times but not as strong as yesterday so even the wind chill should be lessened.
Humidity drops as the day goes on but pollen count rises to high.
Whatever you get up to today Pendle people, I hope you have a good day.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

25/08/2024

Today looks like it's taking a turn for the wetter again Pendle people! We should start off with the weather being the sunshine/cloud combination we've had for a few days now but that's only for those of us who are up early enough.
By 9am the cloud will be thicker and by 11am we're 95% likely to get wet. That is set to continue with varying degrees of wetness until after 5pm when we might, if we're lucky, see a glimpse of the sun before it goes dark.
Winds are from the South and West all day and will be either brisk or blustery. Humidity is getting high again and temperatures are dropping. We'll be lucky to see 15° and with the stronger winds it will feel several degrees below that.
I know it's Bank Holiday Weekend and I hope you've all got exciting plans. Take care everyone and maybe take waterproofs as well.

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

24/08/2024

Today should start off fine with sunny intervals amongst the relatively light cloud cover. By 11 am that will probably have deteriorated and the cloud is 80% likely to give us rain.
After lunch we should see a return to the drier weather of earlier in the morning and we should also see the best temperatures of the day at something approaching the mid teens. Wind chill should drop it a few degrees unfortunately as we are due to have brisk Southerly and Westerly winds with gusts of over 30 mph at times.
As it goes dark the likelihood of rain increases once again so we should see some wet weather overnight into Sunday.
It's the last Bank Holiday of the summer Pendle people and I hope you're all going to enjoy yourselves. I was on holiday for a few days. I went to Scotland and it rained every day except the one we traveled home on. There was no internet so I missed you all. 😔

Pendle Hill 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV

18/08/2024

There's a chance of rain very early in the morning, Sunday 18th August, but that should be gone by sunrise. From sunrise until sunset it should be a day of sunshine and light cloud - similar to yesterday evening and the day before.
It won't be warm, unfortunately. The Met is promising us temperatures in the mid teens at best and with brisk winds from the West and South; and with some stronger gusts, it should feel a bit colder still. Maybe 10° if we're lucky.
Humidity is low, UV and pollen are high. Have a good day Pendle people and get some fresh air if possible.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-18

16/08/2024

In many ways today, Saturday 17th August 2024, is likely to be very similar to yesterday. The temperatures are similar, the winds are from the same direction and are similarly breezy and the day is mainly one of sunshine and cloud.
The main difference is that the cloud, when it comes, is likely to be thicker and there is always a higher chance of rain in the morning. Between 5am and 11am there's at least a 50% chance of rain at any point.
Then we'll have an hour or so of thicker cloud which, ironically, is less likely to make us wet. Finally we'll finish the day - from 3pm onward - with weather that's due to be an exact copy of yesterday's.
Humidity is pretty low and pollen count and UV intensity are very high.
If you're off to Asda for their event or going to hang around Barrowford for the Tractor convoy in aid of charity I hope you have a lovely time Pendle people.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-17

15/08/2024

Today is forecast to be a better day then yesterday. That's not hard in my opinion!
We are less than 5% likely to get rain all day and the cloud is light. We won't get unbroken sunshine most of the day though, it will be a mixture of cloud and sun. From 6pm onwards we're due unbroken sunshine so it should be a lovely evening.
Temperatures are not brilliant for the time of year, we might get lucky and see them rise to 16° or 17° by mid afternoon but there won't be any records broken today.
The wind is light to moderate and from a Westerly direction so, even though there is a couple of degrees reduction in the feel of the temperature, it won't be too bad a wind chill. Pollen is high and so is UV so take care of yourself if you're out for any length of time and you're susceptible Pendle people.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-16

14/08/2024

Today is probably wet Pendle people. It's a day of cloud, potential rain and pretty much 100% certain rain.
Cloud will build during the morning and a dry day will gradually give way to rain somewhere between 8am and 11am. By noon we're over 95% certain to have rain and that will continue to at least 8pm when the rain will gradually fade and we'll end the day on the same cloudy note that we started it on.
Temperatures will drop by at least 5° so we'll be lucky to see anything above the mid teens. Strong winds from the West and South add a chill factor that will make it feel three or four degrees colder still.
One positive is that neither UV nor pollen are high today but as most of us will do our best to avoid going out anyway I'm not sure that counts.
Have as good a day as you can Pendle people and I'll see you all tomorrow.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-15

13/08/2024

Today, Wednesday 14th August 2024, is forecast to be bright, cloudless and sunny all day!
Temperatures are not quite as high as they were a couple of days ago - probably due to the cloud and rain we had yesterday. The highs should be mid to late teens.
Winds are due to be very light (no wind chill factor to speak of), which is good because they'll be swinging around from every direction. They start off from the Northerly and easterly directions and end up coming from the Southerly and Westerly points.
UV and pollen are both high but humidity is dropping which might give a better feel to the heat.
Take care if you're out in the sun for any length of time Pendle people and I hope you all have a great day.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-14

12/08/2024

The best of the weather today, Pendle people, is going to be in the morning. Unbroken sunshine at 6am will gradually give way to cloudier conditions until, by noon, there is a 50% chance of rain, the cloud are thicker and the sun is gone.
By mid afternoon we are almost certain to be getting wet (90%) and that state of affairs will continue, gradually diminishing until, just before sunset, we might see a glimpse of sun as the cloud thins.
Temperatures are forecast to be in the mid teens at their height and brisk Westerly winds will knock the feel of that down by a few degrees.
UV is high but pollen is moderate.
We're halfway through the week Pendle people and I hope you're having a good one.

11/08/2024

Good morning Pendle people and happy Monday 12th August 2024. From sunrise until about 10am we are due to have light cloud and sunshine. From 10am onwards the cloud will gradually darken and we have a yellow warning of thunderstorms in place - although the Met says we're only 40% likely to see any rain.
From 3pm the cloud will gradually thin and we're supposed to have a clear and sunny evening until it goes dark.
Temperatures, after it warms up, are only a degree cooler than yesterday but tomorrow the winds will be quite brisk so the increasing warmth will be delayed until noon. We will also see a few degrees of wind chill kicking in quite early in the afternoon to make for a less heated afternoon and evening than we had yesterday.
The winds start off from the southerly and easterly directions but swing round during the afternoon to come in from the West.
Because of the additional cloud cover, the UV risk is only moderate but the pollen count remains high.
I have added an image to the post because the Met has clearly changed things and I can't have the link show up as an image in itself. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.
I hope you all have a really lovely day Pendle people.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-12

10/08/2024

It should be a lovely day today Pendle people! We are being promised unbroken sunshine from 7 in the morning until 8 at night. Temperatures will rise as a result and we could see them as high as the mid 20s although the Met, with their usual pessimism, are only promising us a high of 20° between 3pm and 7pm.
Winds are mostly from the southerly directions and are very light. There's almost no wind chill.
UV and Pollen are both high.
That's it Pendle people. I hope you all have a lovely day. Make sure you don't burn!
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-11

10/08/2024

Between 7 am and noon there is a realistic chance of a shower or two. The probability varies from 40% to 60% likely. In between the showers we should see some sunshine.
From noon onwards it is a steadily improving picture and the afternoon and evening looks as though we'll have cloudless skies and lots of sunshine.
Temperatures are going to improve too. Starting on the low side, because of the cloudier skies we've had over the last few days, temperatures will rise as the day goes on, hitting highs in the late teens or early twenties during the brighter afternoon and early evening. Winds are from the South or West and are less than they were yesterday, being either steady or occasionally brisk.
UV is high so take care in the sun Pendle people. It's Saturday and I know you're out and about so have a good time and enjoy yourselves.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-10

08/08/2024

In theory today will be brighter than yesterday was. Between midnight and 4 am the likelihood of rain is 40% and that figure reduces as the day goes on until it is less than 5% for the afternoon and early evening. At the same time we should have sunny intervals interspersed with relatively light cloud.
Temperatures are not going to be great. We are unlikely to get anything near 20° and the Met, with its usual pessimism, thinks 14° will b the high point of the day.
Westerly winds are also increasing in strength so we could see gusts in excess of 40 mph at around lunchtime and that has a significant wind chill factor, reducing the feel of the temperature by about 5°.
Both UV and pollen are high so you might need to take care if you're out and about. It's Friday 9th August 2024 Pendle people and the weekend is just around the corner. Have a good day everyone.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-09

07/08/2024

It's a strong likelihood of rain all day Pendle people. From 40% and 50% likely during the commuting hours this morning to over 90% likely between noon and 6pm. Then there's a slight decrease for a couple of hours to 70% likely and then we go back up to 90% for the rest of Thursday 8th August.
I'm going to get wet!
Temperatures are disappointing and the wind is mostly from the South and quite brisk.
Have a good day everyone and try to keep dry.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-08

07/08/2024

I thought you Pendle people would just like to see a cat who epitomises how I feel when the weather turns cold and wet in August. AUGUST!!

07/08/2024

Tomorrow should be cloudy and sunny alternately all day. Unfortunately there's some rain mixed in with that and we can expect to get wet at any point between 9am and 2pm when the likelihood of rain is between 60% and 90%.
Because things are more overcast the temperature drops a couple of degrees so we can't expect anything above the mid to late teens. The wind is still from the South and the West and is very brisk at times so we will see a drop in the feel of the temperature as well.
UV is high, pollen is moderate.
Have a good day Pendle people, we're half-way through the working week.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-07

06/08/2024

Today's temperature is not likely to get above the high teens. Yesterday's cloud pulled things down a little and today, as we're due a mixture of sunshine and lighter cloud, they won't recover too quickly.
Overnight rain should die away and by sunrise we'll see the mixture of cloud and sun that will last us all day. There's not much chance of rain either.
Winds are from the West and South again and still quite brisk so there is a chill factor to the perceived temperature.
Pollen and UV are both high so you might need to bear that in mind.
That's it Pendle people. Have a lovely Tuesday and make sure you get some fresh air.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-06

04/08/2024

It looks like another grey day for Monday 5th August Pendle people. There's not a lot of chance of rain until the very end of the day, heading towards Tuesday when we might see rain arrive just before midnight.
If we're lucky we could get a glimpse of the sun just before 9am but after that the thin cloud will thicken and it's dull and grey all the way.
Temperatures are up a few degrees over yesterday but the mostly Southerly winds are quite brisk so it will feel cooler. We may see temperatures in the low 20s by mid afternoon though they will probably feel as though they're in the mid to high teens.
UV is moderate because of the cloud cover but the pollen count is high. If this affects you, take care.
Have a lovely first working day of the week Pendle people.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-05

04/08/2024

A cloudier day today Pendle people and cooler with it! We're likely to get rain in the first couple of hours of daylight (70%) and that is followed by a period of sunshine and showers that takes us up to lunchtime. from then onwards it is drier and cloudier with maybe a peep at the sun around dinner time.
The winds are from the South and the West and not quite as strong as they were yesterday.
If temperatures hit the high teens we'll be very lucky. Mid teens are more likely.
UV and pollen are high and air pollution is low. It should still be a day when we can get out and about and enjoy a bit of summer - UK style - so have a good day everyone.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-04

03/08/2024

This 3rd August, we are 80% likely to have light rain overnight but that will be gone well before sunrise. From 6am until 4pm we are forecast to have a mixture of sunshine and light cloud. From 4pm until dark the likelihood is that we will have unbroken sunshine. It should be a nice day Pendle people.
Temperatures are not going to reach the dizzy heights of yesterday or the day before. They will be down a couple of degrees leaving us slightly below average temperatures for the time of year. The Westerly wind is quite brisk at times during Saturday before easing off as we head towards Sunday.
UV is still high.
I hope you all have a lovely day and manage to find something good to do and get out and about.
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcw67wrm9 #?date=2024-08-03

01/08/2024

Today should be mostly good weather but as we get nearer to home time on Friday the weather is going to take a dip. Until 4pm there's very little chance of rain. After that we get increasing percentages of likelihood until by 7pm we're at 90% and it stays very likely to rain for the rest of the day and into the early hours of Saturday.
Back to Friday and we should have a lot of unbroken sunshine in the morning and sunny with light cloud during the afternoon until 4pm.
Temperatures do get as high as yesterday but they drop again as the rain starts so we won't get that long, warm late afternoon. Partially because the wind is picking up as well and gusts will get quite brisk as the clouds arrive.
UV is still high so take care if you're out in the sun for any length of time.
Have a lovely Friday Pendle people and I hope you've got plans for the weekend because that rain isn't supposed to last for long.
