....ROAD REPORTS: .."A6 Fairfield Road - UPDATE - "Traffic flows at this spot are returning to normal" ............A lorry has broken down near the bridge at the bottom of Fairfield Road - long queues in all directions - AVOID Fairfield Road if you are able!" Thank you John Martin @ 08.10 Tuesday.
AND ..ASHBOURNE - Beware if travelling north towards Buxton through Ashbourne "the normal roads used to travel north are closed!" - The A515 - that is Dig Street, Church Street and St John's Street as far as the Market Place turning, are all closed for roadwork's - so if you try to get through, cars will be diverted via Hall Lane and HGV's will be diverted via Matlock - best to avoid! - the roads website, say these works will be to September! (come on DCC you can do better than that!) Thank you Rachel Robinson for the latest updates.

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK Met Office.:
.................Saturday 24 May - Monday 2 Jun
As we head into the bank holiday weekend and following week, a change in weather type is expected as unsettled conditions develop, with weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. The change is likely overspread most areas through Saturday, with many seeing spells of rain and low cloud, and it will feel humid. This will herald a changeable spell as further systems come east. Drier and brighter intervals are likely between systems but with showers, some of which could be heavy / thundery. The wettest weather will tend to be toward the west. Temperatures will probably be close to average, perhaps slightly above at times, but will feel fairly cool in the often strong winds.
Tuesday 3 Jun - Tuesday 17 Jun
Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June although with time a trend toward longer settled spells seems likely. So spells of wet weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods these drier periods may become more prevalent as we had further into June. Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still possible, as normal for the time of year.......................................
