Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Low cloud in the morning may hinder navigation. Increasingly warm through the day with high UV levels so it will be important to stay hydrated and bring suitable protection from the sun.
Weather
Dry. Bright or sunny spells and variable cloud in the morning, cloudier in the west. This gradually breaking up through the day to allow prolonged sunny spells and becoming very warm.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
60% at first, best chance in east. Rising to 90% or higher by mid-afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Areas of cloud down to 600-800m in the west in the morning and occasionally poor visibilities in hill fog. This breaking up by mid-afternoon leaving largely clear summits.
