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 great day to be out, however applying and re-applying sun protection is advisable throughout the day due to very high levels of UV's. Starting to feel warm by the afternoon so taking plenty of water is advisable.

Weather

A light northeasterly breeze may bring some low cloud or fog patches to valleys during the early morning. Becoming a bright and sunny day soon as temperatures increase and any fog or low cloud dissipates. The sunshine possibly turning a little hazy in the afternoon as high-level cloud moves in.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

95% or more.

Low cloud and visibility

Patchy fog or mist during the early morning may reduce visibilities in valleys. Soon becoming a bright and sunny day with excellent visibilities of distant hills.

Ground conditions

No recent ground conditions report available.
