Feeling cold on the summits, especially later in the day as winds freshen.
Weather
Dry overnight with some long clear spells, but patchy mist and fog developing in the valleys. Overnight low level mist and fog will be slow to clear, but on the fells a fine day is expected with some long sunny spells. Remaining dry through the evening with long clear spells, risk of low level mist and fog reforming.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops

Low cloud and visibility
Only small amounts of cloud expected below the summits, as well as thin low cloud on the foothills as low level mist and fog lifts. Away from cloud visibility good or very good, but less than a kilometre in low level mist and fog.
