Additional weather information

High temperatures - notably a few degrees up on yesterday - bring a risk of dehydration and heat stress, especially on long climbs. With only thin cloud cover, UV-levels will remain high, so appropriate sun-protection is recommended

A dry and sunny day and warmer than yesterday. Plenty of prolonged sunny spells, but high-level cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops

Low cloud and visibility
Summits clear and good or excellent visibilities for the majority of the day, any early fog patches in dales clearing soon after dawn.
