Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Moderate UV levels where the sun breaks through so suitable protection is advised. Turning quite breezy late in the day.
Weather
Dry to start with sunny spells, but cloud building from mid-morning, thick enough to generate the odd light shower east of the A9, but staying mostly dry. Some bright or sunny spells developing between cloud in the afternoon, the best of these west of the A9. Dry in the evening with some clear spells in west, cloudy in the east.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
In morning and evening: 30% east, 70% west. Rising to 80% for all by day.
Low cloud and visibility
Quite widespread cloud down to 600-800m over eastern ranges in the morning and again in the evening. Clear summits in the west but some mist or fog patches forming in sheltered glens in the early hours, clearing soon after dawn. Summits clear and good or excellent visibilities through the middle of the day with cloud above the tops.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
