Overall a good day to be on the hills, high UV-levels will give the risk of sunburn so applying suncream during the day is advisable. Feeling a little cool during the early morning and by late evening.
Weather
Dry with clear spells overnight, some mist or fog patches in valleys first thing but soon clearing to give some hazy sunshine Saturday morning. Sunny spells with some hazy sunshine during the afternoon. Cloud thickening by the evening with showers of rain developing in places.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% during the morning, becoming 90% by the afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Any early morning mist or fog patches will reduce the visibility but these should be mainly confined to valleys. Possibly some low cloud obscuring hills above 600m during the morning but quickly improving by the afternoon with clouds mostly above summits with good visibilities, but falling in showers later.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
