Check the live forecast above before heading out in Penistone today – conditions change quickly in this South Yorkshire market town, set in the Pennine foothills between Barnsley and Sheffield, so a waterproof layer is often wise even when the morning looks fair.
What is the weather like in Penistone this week?
Penistone sits in a valley of the Pennines, meaning it often catches cloud and rain that drift in from the Manchester side of the hills. The live forecast above shows the pattern for the next few days. Temperatures here tend to be a degree or two cooler than in Sheffield or Barnsley, and northerly winds can make it feel raw on exposed walks. Keep an eye on the 10-day weather forecast for the UK if you are planning ahead.
Will the Met Office weather for Penistone change today?
Yes, the Met Office outlook for Penistone often updates by mid-morning as Atlantic fronts move across northern England. The live forecast above will reflect those shifts. If you are travelling to Huddersfield or Manchester later, check their local pages too – conditions can vary by only a few miles in this part of the Pennines.
Does Penistone suffer from flooding when it rains heavily?
Penistone has localised flood risk near the River Don and its tributaries. The Environment Agency issues alerts when persistent rain follows the pattern shown in the live forecast above.

When should I check the weather for Penistone?
Check the live forecast above each morning for the day’s conditions, and again before any evening walks. The Met Office also provides hourly updates for Penistone.
