Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Suncream and plenty of water will be essential throughout the day given very warm temperatures. Worth having a rain coat if any evening showers develop and beware of any thundery downpours later on. Fairly brisk winds at higher elevations may affect balance at times.
Weather
Overnight thunderstorms and cloud soon clearing to leave a dry, sunny morning. Sunshine turning hazy by the afternoon but remaining on the whole dry during the daytime period. Feeling very warm, but tempered slightly by fairly breezy conditions at height. Small chance of an evening shower or thunderstorm.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% at first, becoming greater than 95% by mid-morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Some patches of low cloud reducing visibilities above 300m at first. Visibility quickly improving during the day as showers/thunderstorms clear and cloud bases quickly lift and dissipate.
