From this morning’s issue of the Mountain Weather Forecast for the Peak
District:

------------------------------------------------------
70% chance that most summits will be clear of cloud, however during
showers some cloud will temporarily form on windward slopes above 700m.
------------------------------------------------------

The highest point in the Peak District is 636m so there are no slopes
above 700m. Whatever happened to quality control?

Oh dear.
And I know that isn't the first time you have complained about that!

Perhaps they don't distinguish between the Peak District and the
Pennines and use the same forecast for both. If so, that's pretty poor.

Indeed! The forecast is explicitly labelled

Peak District - Mountain Weather Forecast

I suspect that it was a cut-and-paste job from the Yorkshire Dales
Mountain Weather Forecast which contained the same prediction. I
haven't checked, but I suspect that the area covered by the Yorkshire
Dales forecast does have some bits above 700m.

If they can't get the simple things right it does make you wonder about
the reliability of the more difficult stuff i.e. the forecast
information :-(
