Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Early morning hill fog may result in challenging navigation conditions and disappointing views from summits. Quickly improving with much better conditions to be had by late-morning once cloud bases start to lift. Wind gusts may be strong at times making walking harder on exposed terrain and to the lee of high ground. Despite the wind and morning cloud, UV-levels will be High or Very High, so adequate sun protection and frequent hydration is recommended.
Weather
A cloudy start to the day, especially across eastern parts. The cloud slightly more broken across western parts. By mid to late-morning expecting the cloud to lift and start to dissipate to give some sunny spells, these becoming more prolonged in the afternoon.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% across western parts lowering to 40% across eastern parts, in the morning. Becoming 95% for all areas by the afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud possibly obscuring summits above 500-600m in the morning, especially across eastern parts, resulting in poor visibility in any hill fog. Low cloud lifting and dissipating by mid to late-morning with bases above summits resulting in excellent views of distant hills.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
