What is the weather like in Buttermere today?
Check the live forecast above for the most accurate picture. Buttermere sits in a valley surrounded by fells, which means it often catches passing showers even when nearby areas stay dry. Winds can pick up suddenly, particularly around the lake and on paths towards Haystacks. If you are heading out, take a waterproof layer and sturdy footwear regardless of the morning outlook.
What should visitors know about Buttermere weather?
