Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A warm day, but cooler than of late, with a strong wind making for a fresher feel. Despite this UV levels will still be High or Very High, so sun protection and adequate hydration is recommended. Wind gusts may be a little stronger than shown in the table, making for fairly arduous walking on exposed terrain with sudden stronger gusts possible on lee slopes.
Weather
Low cloud covering the higher summits overnight, but this soon clearing during the morning. Then a dry day with lengthy spells of sunshine, this maybe a little hazy under thin high cloud. Perhaps some patchy low cloud returning late evening. Warm, but feeling fresher in fresh to strong easterly winds.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20% becoming 100% by mid-morning, perhaps becoming 70% late evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Widespread low cloud, base 400-500m, lifting and breaking during the morning to leave mostly clear skies apart from thin high cloud. Visibility mostly good, but very poor at first in low cloud covering the higher summits. Perhaps areas of low cloud returning late evening.
