Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
The dry, sunny conditions will mean that high UV is a significant risk so appropriate sun protection should be used. The temperatures will be higher than usual for this time of year, and so walkers should be prepared for this with plenty of water and appropriate layers for the cooler temperatures on the summits.
Weather
Some patchy low cloud or mist possible at first, which will quickly dissipate on Sunday morning to leave a fine, dry day with plenty of sunshine and light variable winds.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% at first quickly becoming >95%.
Low cloud and visibility
A low chance of some occasional low cloud at first with bases 100-300m, this quickly lifting to above summits early in the morning. Visibility will generally be very good or excellent, though may be moderate to poor in any low cloud first thing in the morning.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
