Weather forecast builder for the Pilgrims' Way

Pilgrims’ Way alternates open Downs, quiet woodland, and farmland tracks, with weather swinging between sunny spells, rain showers, and occasional slick chalk. April, June, and September align with longer daylight, moderate temperatures, and generally firmer footing that reduces winter mud or high‑growth tangles. Passing showers occur in all seasons; spring can be drying and flowery, high summer hotter and overgrown, and late summer into autumn more settled but gradually wetter and darker.

• Spring: Paths begin drying, woods show flowers and fresh hedges, yet variable showers keep chalk and clay occasionally slick.
• Summer: Alternating sunny spells and heavy showers; heatwaves possible; exposed downs; vegetation high along field edges; brief storms can create slick surfaces.
• Autumn: Early period often settled with softer light and drier ground; later weeks turn wetter, leaf-covered chalk and shorter daylight affecting progress.
• Winter: Short daylight, frequent rain, and recurring mud dominate; occasional snow, freezing rain, and icy patches appear during colder spells.
