Confidence
High for largely dry through the coming days and a change to colder, northerly winds later in the week, but lower for cloud details on Tuesday as there is some uncertainty over how far north fronts push across the southern United Kingdom.

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Feeling cold on the summits, especially later in the day as winds freshen.
Weather
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.

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.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
