Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Plenty water and sun protection recommended
Weather
A clear night for most but lower hills below about 500m exposed to the east will have some low cloud at first, perhaps also some of the glens inland, all this burning off again in the morning. The mountains will have unbroken sunshine through the day, with just a little high cloud occasionally turning it hazy in the afternoon. Becoming very warm, even hot at lower levels. During the evening cloud will again filter in to more exposed eastern foothills, but most will stay sunny then clear.

Areas of low cloud and patchy fog below 500m burning off by mid-morning, otherwise no low cloud and good visibility during the day. Then during the evening, some cloud edging in around the 400-600m to the east.
