Upper Dales, North Yorkshire: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Upper Dales sits in the Yorkshire Dales at around 54°N, where you'll experience a cool, wet upland climate. It's wetter and windier than most of England, so factor this into your property maintenance plans.
Winters are cold and often harsh. Snow falls more regularly than in lowland areas, and frost hangs around well into spring. Summers are mild rather than warm, and rain spreads fairly evenly throughout the year. You'll see higher heating bills and need more frequent exterior maintenance — roofs, guttering, and pointing all take a real battering from the weather.
Air quality here is genuinely good, scoring 94.7 out of 100. Pollution levels for all measured pollutants sit well within safe limits, which is a genuine benefit of rural upland living.
