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 regulary.
BBC Cumbria Weather
[]
The link to the old combined Cumbrian forecast that is now only issued when
severe conditions are expected.
As with all forecasts there are always occasions when they are incorrect. However I've been comparing these forecasts with actual conditions over several months and they are generally fairly good. During a normal working day it is updated several times, on weekends and bank holidays the updates can be a little variable.

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.

inside and out, atmospheric pressure and rainfall. From these data it
calculates wind-chill and dew-point.
