Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Winds will ease through the day but gusts of 30-40mph on tops during the morning may make for fairly arduous walking. Still rather chilly in the northerly wind, note the sub zero wind chill on tops in the morning but also high UV levels by afternoon, suitable protection is advised.

A cloudy morning with a few scattered showers for the Aberdeenshire hills, but brighter across Perthshire and Stirlingshire. Turning widely brighter through the afternoon with lengthy sunny spells developing.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20% (60% for Perthshire and Stirlingshire hills), rising widely to >90% for all areas.
Low cloud and visibility
Widespread cloud bases 800-1000m for the Aberdeenshire hills at first, but generally just a few patches on tops further south. Cloud bases breaking up and lifting above all tops in the afternoon. Very good visibility below cloud bases, perhaps brief deteriorations in morning showers.
