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.

Additional weather information

Meteorologist's view

A warm day with High UV levels, so sun protection and hydration is recommended.

Weather

Another dry and warm day. Perhaps rather cloudy during the morning, but cloud lifting and breaking with some sunny spells developing, especially in the afternoon.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

80% at first, becoming 100% by mid-morning, then perhaps 80% again late evening.

Low cloud and visibility

Some patches of cloud, base 500-600m, to start the day but this soon lifting above hilltops. Patches of low cloud may return late evening. Visibility mostly very good, but very poor in any low cloud covering the hills.
