The Weather at Howhill
News Headline
27th September 2011 |
Just got the weather station connected and back online. It will take a while before all the graphs etc catch up with the current data. There is nothing for the period 4th to 27th. |
Station Information
The station is located at an altitude of about 1400' in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a rather exposed location compared with the village of Garrigill or the town of Alston, both of which are approximately 400' lower in the bottom of the South Tyne valley.
Data are collected using an Oregon Scientific WM918 Electronic Weather
Station purchased from
Skyview Systems

in the UK. This measures wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity
inside and out, atmospheric pressure and rainfall. From these data it
calculates wind-chill and dew-point.

Forecasts
BBC North East England and Cumbria Weather
[]
The very nice Coastal Waters, Fell, Gardening and four day forecast is no
longer routinely published. The above link is to a much more generic, and in
my opinion less useful, forecast but at least it is updated regularly.
Met Office - Lake District Mountain Forecast
[]
Gives "traffic light" risks for eight weather related risks in the mountains:
Blizzards, heavy snow, storm force winds, gales, severe wind chill, hill fog,
thunderstorms and heavy rain. Together with a day time rain probability, two
day forecast and summary forecast for days three to five.
5-day Lake District Fell Forecast
[]
During the winter this forecast includes the daily felltop conditions report
from Helvellyn. The other textual information is taken from the above Met
Office link.
Both of the above pages are for the Lake District Fells rather than the North Pennines so there can be differences but as a general guide they are useful.
