Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A great day to be out on the hills. A chilly start and end to the day may warrant a few extra layers in the morning and evening. UV-levels remain moderate, so worth taking some sun protection.
Weather
High pressure will bring a dry day with lengthy sunny periods, once any early isolated mist and valley fog has cleared. More prolonged sunny spells by the afternoon.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
95% throughout most of the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Some mist or fog patches are possible during the early morning in prone valleys; these may reduce the visibility locally but should quickly clear. Great views of distant hills for most of the day with cloud bases above summit.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops
10% for most of the day, becoming 60% by the evening.

Temperature
