Cloud slowly feeding from the north from the afternoon, bringing some patchy rain from late evening, with some wet snow over highest peaks. Mainly dry, bright and sunny through the morning. Hailstorm is possible over northern districts of Punjab, Haryana and NW UP. As mentioned earlier, walkers heading for the higher fells on Wednesday should also be prepared to encounter snow. Also, get the weather and season trend for cities of Uttar pradesh along. Therefore full winter clothing (waterproofs, extra warm layers, hat & gloves), mountain boots and equipment including a torch, map and compass all remain essential to safely, and enjoyably, roam the fells. Owing to the lack of winter conditions, and similar weather to Monday, the main hazards were once again wet, slippery rock underfoot (especially when in the cloud) and navigational difficulties caused by the low cloud with visibility down to 50m at times.ĭespite the appearance of daffodils in the valleys, the summit windchill (what the temperature actually feels like) around midday was below zero (at minus 5 degrees C) which combined with the precipitation within the cloud quickly chilled those without any additional clothing. Indeed, the only snow left on any path in the Lake District is an insignificant, tiny amount on Swirral Edge’s exit. However, there’s not much left to thaw and, owing to its location, most walkers will not encounter any snow at all. They have been thawing over the past 48 hours but only very slowly owing to both the snow’s height and aspect. The patches of snow that do still exist lie above 900m on steep north and east facing slopes. Should snow fall above 700m, it will mainly settle on bare, damp ground since the overwhelming majority of the Lakeland fells up to, and including, the highest summits are clear of snow and ice. This report comes with a health warning in that at the time of writing it is forecast that Tuesday night/Wednesday morning’s precipitation could fall as snow above 700m so walkers out on the high fells on Wednesday could experience very different ground conditions to those experienced & described today.
