Looking for BBC Weather Sheffield means looking for a forecast, not a seasonal average. The figures below describe Sheffield’s historical weather; they do not establish today’s temperature, rain timing or active warnings.

Sheffield BBC weather: keep the date attached
Treat the period attached to a weather figure as its combination lock: without the right month and year, the number cannot answer your question. Keep November averages for seasonal context, September’s comparison for historical perspective, and a fresh forecast for decisions about when to leave home. An average rainfall total cannot tell you whether your particular journey will be wet.
