Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Some heavy showers in the afternoon, leading to swollen water courses and a risk of surface water flooding, with slippery surfaces underfoot and poor visibilities. Adequate layers required as well as good navigational skills.
Weather
A dull start with a few isolated outbreaks of light rain. Turning drier in the morning, with sunny spells and a isolated few showers in the west. These will become heavier and more frequent in the afternoon, perhaps accompanied by the odd rumble of thunder. Showers slowly dying away during the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
10% improving to 90% through the morning, although dipping to 60% in heavy showers.
Low cloud and visibility
Widespread cloud base 250-350m lifting and breaking during the morning, but cloud still touching higher summits, especially near heavy showers. Very poor visibility initially with hill fog, then improving good or very good outside of showers with distant hills visible. Temporarily decreasing with heavy showers for only nearby hills to be visible.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
