Mountain hazards

Mountain weather hazards

Hazards apply at or above 300m, reflecting the more severe conditions which can occur at altitude.

Strong Sunlight
Harmful UV levels from sunlight increase with altitude giving a greater risk of sunburn and eye damage, even on some overcast days. On breezy days, the cooling effect of wind on exposed skin may disguise any feeling of sunburn until it is too late. If there is snow cover, glare increases the effect of UV rays especially on the eyes. It is advisable to wear sun block, protective clothing such as a long-sleeved top and hat and have good quality eye protection.

Mountain weather forecast

Generally dry conditions with mostly light winds. Rather cloudy at times but also some bright or sunny spells.

Additional weather information

Meteorologist's view

Moderate to High UV levels are likely in any lengthier bright or sunny spells, so sun protection should be considered.

Weather

A dry day but with variable cloud amounts, perhaps giving rather cloudy skies at times. However, there will still be some bright or sunny spells as well, these tending to become more prolonged later in the day, and it should remain generally dry. Lighter winds than Saturday, so feeling a little warmer despite any cloudier periods.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

70% becoming 100% by mid-morning.

Low cloud and visibility

Patches of cloud with base around 600m at first, lifting above the summits by mid-morning. Visibility mostly very good, but very poor in any early patches of summit cloud.

Ground conditions

No recent ground conditions report available.
