Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Any showers over the summits are likely to be wintry in nature, but such showers should be very short lived. Strengthening winds from early afternoon onwards, particularly towards summits, will bring more difficult walking conditions with a risk of being blown off balance. Energy output significantly increased when walking into the wind. The combination of the strong winds and cold temperatures towards the summits will bring a significant wind chill.
Weather
Mostly cloudy with glimpses of sunshine through the day. Generally dry but a quickly moving isolated shower, falling as snow above 700 M, remains a small risk. Windy.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80%
Low cloud and visibility
Some patchy cloud above 800m in the afternoon. Poor visibility within cloud and any showers near summits, otherwise good or excellent visibility in general.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
