Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
There is a small possibility of gusts approaching gale force given thunderstorm activity in the area, with some variability in direction shown likely as well as sudden increases in strength.
Weather
Rather cloudy during the early hours, with cloud perhaps thick enough to produce the odd spot of rain on windward ground especially. Becoming mainly fine during the morning, with temperatures and humidity a little reduced compared to previous days, but still potentially difficult walking conditions in eventual sunny spells and periods of high UV. From around the middle of the afternoon there is a risk of heavy and eventually thundery showers developing, more likely in the south with these gusty and with a risk of hail showers, gradually dying away in the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
30% improving to greater than 90%.
Low cloud and visibility
Some early cloud down to 400 metres on windward ground, with a chance of moderate visibility in intermittent rain, but improving, with cloud lifting clear of summits before lunch. Visibility very good into the afternoon.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
