Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
There's the potential for summits to poke through the cloud sheet, especially around dawn until mid-morning with ranges such as the Carneddau most likely to be clear, however there is uncertainty regarding the height of the cloud tops and how quickly they rise through the morning. Foggy conditions will make for difficult navigation at times through the morning. Long periods of strong sunshine developing with high or very high UV levels so remember to protect your skin.
Weather
Cloudy for many through the morning though periods of sunshine in places, perhaps prolonged in southern areas of the park. A warm afternoon with clouds breaking for many to give widespread sunny spells.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40%, but 70% above 900m with the highest summits possibly sitting above a temperature inversion and layer of cloud. Becoming widely 80% later in the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Widespread cloud above 400-600m, though patchy in the south and locally cloud-free south of Beddgelert. Higher tops possibly above cloud first thing but clouds lifting to cover some summits for a time through the morning. Occasional periods above 950m through the afternoon. Very good visibility in general but very poor in cloud/fog.
