Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A fine day to be on the hills with relatively light winds to start, increasing slightly by the afternoon but shouldn't cause too much issues. It would be wise to pack and use suncream throughout the day with high UV-levels, and a jacket for the early morning and later on in the day as it could feel a little chilly.
Weather
Dry with clear spells overnight, some mist or fog patches in valleys first thing but soon clearing to give some hazy sunshine Saturday morning. Prolonged sunny spells can be expected by the afternoon. Clouding over by the evening with possibly the odd shower of rain.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
90% of cloud free summits throughout the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Possibly some early morning mist or fog patches reducing visibilities mainly in valleys, otherwise good for most of the day, falling slightly in showers by the evening and overnight.
