Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Cooler than previous days but still warm and sunny, so make sure to pack plenty of fluids. High UV levels cause sun cream to be required. The risk of an isolated shower later means it is advisable to take waterproofs.
Weather
A few misty patches may form in the valleys early Friday morning with patchy low cloud in the west, clearing shortly after dawn. Otherwise, another warm and sunny day with patchy cloud, although cooler than previous days. Cloud will increase through the afternoon and evening, with perhaps an isolated thundery shower developing.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
50 % increasing to 95%
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud in the west initially around 500m but lifting clear of summits through the morning. Visibility generally very good, perhaps moderate or poor in any mist patches and low cloud during the morning and any showers later.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
