Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
The morning will likely be quite wet and unpleasant. Slightly better picture in the afternoon as cloud starts to break and showers become more isolated. However, getting caught in a heavy or thundery shower could be drenching. The gusty winds will make it feel significantly cooler on summits and may make movement on exposed ground difficult at times.
Weather
A cloudy and wet start with heavy and potentially thundery outbreaks of rain. As the day progresses, the cloud breaks up to give sunny spells, however blustery and heavy showers continue with the odd rumble of thunder possible.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
30% in the morning, becoming 80% in the afternoon. Reducing to 60% by the evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud obscuring summits above 400-500m in the morning with poor visibility in any rain and showers. Cloud bases lifting above summits by mid-day with excellent visibilities, however any heavy showers are likely to bring cloud bases down to 500-600m and poor visibilities.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
