Mountain hazards

Mountain weather hazards

Hazards apply at or above 300m, reflecting the more severe conditions which can occur at altitude.

Strong Sunlight
Harmful UV levels from sunlight increase with altitude giving a greater risk of sunburn and eye damage, even on some overcast days. On breezy days, the cooling effect of wind on exposed skin may disguise any feeling of sunburn until it is too late. If there is snow cover, glare increases the effect of UV rays especially on the eyes. It is advisable to wear sun block, protective clothing such as a long-sleeved top and hat and have good quality eye protection.

Mountain weather forecast

Dry and mostly bright with periods of sunshine, hazy at times. Winds easing.

A nice day for hill walking once any cloud clears the summits.

Weather

A generally dry day with periods of sunshine. High level cloud may turn the sunshine watery at times but prolonged periods of sunshine can also be expected.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

80%

Low cloud and visibility

Scraps of cloud may affect slopes above 700-800m through the morning before lifting and clearing by midday. Poor/very poor visibility in cloud but otherwise very good visibility with excellent air clarity.
