Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Note the strengthening winds later in the day will make for fairly arduous walking on exposed terrain with buffeting of clothing. Balance may be affected at times. Navigation could be challenging with increasingly extensive low cloud and energy output significantly increased when walking into the wind.
Weather
Mostly dry in the early morning. Some bright spells in the sheltered northeast, mostly cloudy west of the A9. Cloud and outbreaks of mostly light rain will spread northeast from around mid-morning. Rain turns somewhat patchy for a time in the afternoon, with some heavier bursts possible again later. Strengthening winds in the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
50% in morning, best chances in the northeast. Falling 20% or less by evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Quite extensive areas of cloud down to 400-600m feed in from the southwest through the morning, with some clearer breaks in the sheltered northeast. Cloud becomes widespread later in the day. Visibilities falling poor in hill fog and outbreaks of rain.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
