What is the weather like in Kirkbymoorside today?
The live forecast above gives the most accurate picture for Kirkbymoorside right now. Situated on the southern edge of the North York Moors, the town often sees cooler temperatures and more cloud than the Vale of Pickering to the south. Winds pick up over the moors, so if you’re walking or cycling, check the live data before setting off.
How does the local geography affect Kirkbymoorside’s weather?
Kirkbymoorside sits at the foot of the moors, meaning it can be a few degrees cooler than nearby Malton or Pickering. Rain-bearing fronts from the west tend to stall over the higher ground, bringing longer spells of drizzle in autumn and winter. In summer, the moors can create localised showers that clear quickly as you head east towards the coast.
Is Kirkbymoorside often foggy?
Yes, especially in autumn and winter. The town lies in a hollow near the River Seven, so cold air settles overnight, creating mist and fog that can linger until mid-morning. Check the live forecast above for visibility warnings.
Does Kirkbymoorside get snow?
Typically 5–10 snow days a year, mostly January to March. Because of its position near the moors, snow can lie longer than in lower-lying towns. The Met Office weather Kirkbymoorside page issues yellow warnings when significant snow is expected.
Where can I find the BBC News weather for Kirkbymoorside?
