How does Penistone’s location affect its weather?
Penistone’s position in a valley west of the M1 means it can trap low cloud and mist on calm mornings. It’s often a degree or two cooler than nearby towns like Barnsley or Wakefield due to its elevation. Wind tends to funnel from the south-west, sometimes bringing patchy rain quicker than the Sheffield Weather page might suggest.
