Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Largely dry and fine conditions across the hills. Periods of High UV developing, so don't forget to take appropriate sun protection.
Weather
Largely cloudy this morning, with a chance of isolated showers, mainly at first and across western areas. Dry this afternoon with increasing amounts of sunshine breaking through, followed by a largely clear evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80% increasing to above 95% by the evening
Low cloud and visibility
Ragged patches of cloud could obscure the odd hill and route above 600m for a time this morning, however these will break and ease away into the afternoon. Any further cloud remaining above the summits. Outside of the cloud, very good views are expected for much of the day, with distant hills visible. Perhaps the odd brief and slight reduction possible if any showers move through.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
