Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Occasionally breezy and gusty on the tops, balance may be affected at times. Medium UV levels where the sun breaks through so suitable protection may be needed.
Weather
A dry and mild day. Quite extensive areas of cloud over eastern ranges in the early morning, clearer spells in the west. This cloud lifting above summits by late morning but remaining largely overcast. Some bright or sunny spells breaking through at times in the afternoon and early evening. Cloud lowering back onto eastern ranges through the late evening. Very small chance of the odd spot of light rain over Eastern Fells in the morning.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
50% morning and again late evening, best chances in west. Rising to 90% during the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Summits largely clear through the bulk of the day with the cloud layer above the tops, and good or excellent visibilities. Quite extensive areas of cloud down to 400-600m over eastern ranges in the early morning, clearer over western ranges. This cloud lifting above summits by mid-morning, forming again through the late evening.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
