Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A bright morning which will quickly feel rather warm with very high UV levels. As a result suncream and plenty of water will be essential throughout the day. Worth having a rain coat if any afternoon showers develop and beware of any thundery downpours later on.
Weather
A slight chance of some low cloud mainly affecting eastern Peaks overnight should clear early in the morning to give a clear and bright start to the day. Cloud forming in the afternoon with the risk of showers developing, these may be heavy and thundery with hail by later afternoon and evening, with showers possibly continuing overnight. Markedly cooler than on Tuesday and with a stronger easterly breeze, but still quite warm. Further low cloud and hill fog possible overnight.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
60% overnight across eastern Peaks, becoming 90% by the morning everywhere.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud may obscure hills with bases 500-600m early in the morning, which may result in poor visibility but will quickly clear. In the evening and overnight scattered cloud with bases 400-600m are possible once again. Visibilities will generally be very good by the morning once any low cloud clears. Poor visibilities can be expected temporarily in heavy showers or thunderstorms later on in the day.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
