Does Leyburn have its own weather station?
No. The nearest official Met Office observing site is at Leeming, around 10 miles to the east. This means local conditions in Leyburn, especially fog and frost, can differ from the official station readings.
Is Leyburn often colder than the rest of the Dales?
Yes, because it lies in a frost hollow. Cold air sinks from the surrounding moors and settles in the town overnight. On clear spring nights, grass frost can occur even when nearby higher ground stays milder.
