Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Expect mean winds and gusts to be around 10 mph stronger than those in the table above on some ridges and over the highest summits. These winds will give considerable buffeting and making walking difficult at times. Despite it feeling quite chilly on the highest summits, very high UV levels are expected through the middle of the day, so remember to protect your skin.
Weather
A dry start to the weekend and whilst there will be a fair amount of cloud at times, there'll also be periods of strong sunshine too. Remaining windy on the summits.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80% but 50% western hills for much of the morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Periods of cloud above 750-800m first thing, mainly over and to the west of the Snowdon Range. This lifting and breaking to become patches above 950m from mid-morning with most summits clearing by midday. Generally very good visibility with excellent air clarity and distant views of far-away mountains and landmarks but occasionally very poor in cloud/hill fog.
