Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Moderate to High UV levels are likely in any lengthier bright or sunny spells, so sun protection should be considered.
Weather
A dry day but with variable cloud amounts, perhaps giving rather cloudy skies at times. However, there will still be some bright or sunny spells as well, these tending to become more prolonged later in the day, and it should remain generally dry. Lighter winds than Saturday, so feeling a little warmer despite any cloudier periods.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% becoming 100% by mid-morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Patches of cloud with base around 600m at first, lifting above the summits by mid-morning. Visibility mostly very good, but very poor in any early patches of summit cloud.
