Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Areas affected by hill fog in the morning may result in some challenging navigation conditions for a time. Conditions soon improving during the morning and early afternoon for most places. Worth preparing for High or Very High UV-levels in the afternoon and feeling warm, even at height, despite some cloudy periods.
Weather
Early morning low cloud may result in some high summits being covered by hill fog. However, cloud should quickly lift to give sunny spells from mid-morning onwards. Sunshine perhaps turning a little hazy due to passing high-level cloud.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40% in the morning, increasing to >95% by the afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud possibly obscuring certain summits above 500-600 meters early in the morning. Visibilities in cloud may be very poor. Cloud bases quickly lift during the morning and are expected to be above summits for most of the day with excellent views of distant hills.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
