Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Extensive low cloud, mist and fog will lead to poor visibility during the morning, making it difficult for navigation on the peaks. Outbreaks of light rain and drizzle late-afternoon and evening will lead to slippery surfaces; therefore, suitable footwear and waterproof clothing is advised.
Weather
Extensive low cloud forming on northern and western facing upslopes overnight but probably staying largely dry. Largely cloudy by day, but with bases lifting, perhaps with some occasional, mainly light rain or drizzle, during late afternoon or early evening. Cloud and light rain clearing after dark. Generally light winds.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20% at first, increasing to 80% during the afternoon, then lowering to 40% through the evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Extensive cloud likely obscuring hills above 400m in the north and west, with some low-level fog possible in the south overnight and early morning. Cloud lifting above hills by the afternoon. Potentially deteriorating again late afternoon and into the evening with bases lowering to around 600m in rain. Outside of low cloud and fog, visibilities mostly hazy or very hazy in the early morning, then hazy to good through the afternoon. Turning poor in rain later.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
