Today in Buxton
- Very high UV index: 8.6 around 13:00. Stay in the shade between 12:00 and 18:00. Fair skin burns in about 23 minutes: avoid exposure, cover up and use SPF 50. How it is calculated

- Terrace and barbecue between 18:00 and 23:00: dry, wind at 9 km/h, 13 °C at 8 pm. A lovely evening. How it is calculated
- Starry sky between 22:00 and 5:00: 1 % average cloud cover tonight, 7 h of clear sky in a row, moon at 14 % (waning crescent). A good night to look up. How it is calculated
