For a detailed weather forecast for the Lakes, check out: http://www.lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk And on Twitter @LakesWeather will provide you with the latest weather information.
Another great website to use is https://mwis.org.uk/ The Mountain Weather Information Service was set up by SportScotland and is excellent for checking out the weather all around the UK. You can select where you are e.g. the Lake District, and it will give information about wind on the summits, visibility etc. Very useful in helping you decide on which route but also what to pack in your daypack re clothing, if you need suntan cream and food (hot or cold).
