Weather forecast for the Pennine Way in August

The Pennine Way goes through different parts of Northern England. Starting in the Peak District, temperatures range from 18°C during the day to 12°C at night, with frequent rain and cloudy skies.

As you head into the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines, temperatures are about the same, but nights can be a bit cooler. You'll still see a lot of rain, often heavy, and mostly cloudy days.

In the more remote areas of Northumberland, like the Cheviots, expect cooler temperatures, with highs around 16-17°C and lows near 10°C. Rain and overcast days are common, and the weather can change quickly.

Overall, be ready for a wet and cloudy hike with daytime temperatures rarely above 18°C and nighttime temperatures between 9-12°C. The weather is pretty much the same along the trail, so prepare for frequent rain and cloudy skies typical of a British summer.
