Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Wet and windy in the morning with low cloud will mean quite poor walking conditions first thing, so waterproof layers will likely be needed. This will slowly improve through the morning to leave mostly dry weather in the afternoon, leaving fairly better conditions. However, there will be some strong and gusty winds, which may be higher than our model suggests on the summits, so plan routes well to take this into account. Sunscreen required as sunshine develops this afternoon.
Weather
Cloudy at first, with outbreaks of rain or drizzle expected through the morning, that could be briefly heavy at times. This will mostly clear away by the afternoon, with cloud thinning and breaking up to leave some good spells of sunshine by the late afternoon and very isolated showers. Winds strengthening through the morning to strong and gusty westerly winds for much of the day. Clear spells and mainly dry but remaining windy into the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20%, becoming 80% by mid-afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Widespread cloud bases down to 300-500m possible in the early morning, especially in the west. Bases higher and more fragmented in the east. Cloud slowly lifting through the late morning, and lifting well above the summits by mid-afternoon. Generally good or very good visibility, although it may be poor in any precipitation and very poor in any low cloud early in the morning.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
