Confidence
High confidence for the ongoing dry and sunny weather, though this confidence does become a little lower by Saturday with the potential for increasing cloud amounts. Also high confidence for the warm temperatures to continue until the weekend. Moderate confidence for the extent of any morning cloud and the speed that this burns away each day.

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Another fine and warm day, with sunshine largely unbroken once early morning cloud clears. UV levels will be high, so appropriate sun protection and plenty of hydration will be vital for anyone heading out onto the hills.
Weather
Low cloud will thicken from the east during the early hours of Tuesday, but hills likely staying dry. This cloud perhaps thin on the very highest tops, allowing for some brief views from above the cloud, before thickening briefly mid-morning. Cloud then burning away and clearing later, leading some prolonged sunny spells during the afternoon. Still a little breezy on the tops, but feeling rather warm.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
50% during the morning. Becoming near 100% by the afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud will thicken above 300m by mid-morning, but perhaps thin enough at first on the highest tops to allow for some limited views above the cloud. Cloud then burning away from all hills into the afternoon. Visibility will be good to very good, with distance hills visible, but perhaps hazy at times. Any low cloud early in the day could bring some spells of poor visibility, mainly below 600m.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
