What does the BBC weather forecast for Penistone cover?
The BBC forecast for Penistone draws on Met Office data to provide hour-by-hour and daily outlooks for the town, which sits at around 200m above sea level. Because of its elevation, Penistone often experiences slightly lower temperatures and more cloud than lower-lying towns such as Barnsley or Sheffield. The live forecast above is updated regularly, so checking it before heading out is the most reliable way to plan your day.
How does Penistone’s location affect its weather?
Nestled in the Pennine foothills, Penistone is exposed to westerly winds that can bring frequent rain showers. The surrounding moorland also means fog can linger on autumn and winter mornings.
