Is there a good online weather forcast for the Yorkshire Dales
(Western) ?
Thanks

Have you tried the Met Office site?

BTW Is your computer clock wrong?

There's this one, though I can't vouch for how good it is:

Select Yorksire Dales from the drop-down. Then the next drop-down
offers a rather strange choice of three specific hills. Whernside and
Crag Hill are both in the western Dales, next to each other. While
Burnhope Seat is quite a long way outside the Yorkshire Dales, to the
north!

So what do you do if you want a forecast for the eastern or southern
Dales?

Look at the forecast for Richmond or Skipton or failing that Bradford
or York. You hardly need a mountain forecast in those areas.

For the Western Yorkshire Dales I find thr MWIS Cumbria pages are pretty
accurate http://www.mwis.org.uk/mountain/LD.PDF

Also for prevailing conditions try http://www.ingleboroughwebcam.co.uk/

BBC weather is a bit hit and miss but Settle and Sedbergh for west and Hawes
nor north seem to give a guide.
