Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A largely fine day, with any early poor visibility clearing by the afternoon. Despite the occasional cloud, any sunshine will be strong, so appropriate sun protection will be needed.
Weather
Some patchy valley mist or fog forming in a few spots during the early hours. This mainly in the east and soon clearing by dawn. A fine and dry day follows with sunny spells. While cloud is likely to thicken from the north during the afternoon, this should remain above hill tops. Thicker cloud could give one or two light showers.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80% during the morning, becoming greater than 95% by midday.
Low cloud and visibility
Early mist and valley fog could lift and thicken briefly during the morning, obscuring some routes at all levels for a few hours, but soon burning away to leave all hills clear by midday. Any further cloud remaining above summits. This could give some brief poor to very poor visibility during the morning, but otherwise good to very good views of distant hills expected, falling to Moderate in any very light showers.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
