Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Feeling cool across the summits in brisk winds, so extra layers advised. High UV levels are also expected, so adequate sun protection is also required.
Weather
A few mist and fog patches likely through the early hours in low cloud, most likely across eastern slopes. This clearing through the early morning, leaving a dry and fine day with sunny spells. Cloud building through the late evening once again across eastern slopes.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
60% at first, becoming >90% through the morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud early on shrouding some higher eastern peaks, with bases down to around 400-500m, but this lifting clear of summits through the morning. Visibility poor to very poor at first, improving to very good by mid-morning.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
