Cold Pike weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday and 1500-1800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; lowest early at about 50%.

A mixed day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 800-1100 m in the morning, lifting to 1000-1300 m around midday and 1000-1300 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Little or no rain expected.

Cloud-free timing: Around 75% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1100-3200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.

A grey, cloudy day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the morning (strong winds). Cloud base around 200-500 m in the morning, lifting to 500-800 m around midday and 500-800 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 15 to 33 mph; check again nearer the time.

Cloud-free timing: Around 75% early, improving to around 100% later.

A fine day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1600 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 12 to 35 mph; check again nearer the time. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.

A fine day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1200-2100 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 12 to 31 mph; check again nearer the time. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.

A mixed day on Cold Pike: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-2100 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 18 to 36 mph; check again nearer the time. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.
