Further outlook
This evening forecast
Early evening sunny spells which will give way to slightly thicker cloud, with a risk of showery rain by mid-evening, this occasionally heavy, with a low risk of the odd rumble of thunder. Cloud bases will be well above the hilltops, however, so visibility will be very good, but briefly moderate to poor in showers. Moderate westerly winds.
Mountain weather hazards
Hazards apply at or above 300m, reflecting the more severe conditions which can occur at altitude.
Strong Sunlight
Poor Visibility
Thunderstorms

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Despite the early cloud, sunny spells are likely to develop giving Moderate or perhaps High UV levels, so sun protection is recommended. Not as warm as of late, however. The thunderstorm risk during the early hours is expected to clear through around dawn, with subsequent showers unlikely to be thundery.
Weather
Cloud thickening and lowering onto summits, with outbreaks of showery rain, occasionally heavy, and a low risk of the odd rumble of thunder during the early hours. Then a mostly cloudy start with scattered light to moderate showers, but cloud lifting and breaking during the morning to allow some bright or sunny spells. Showers gradually dying out during the afternoon, to leave a dry and largely sunny evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
30% at first, rising to 100% by late morning. Perhaps lowering to 70% late evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Areas of cloud above 400-500m first thing, this lifting above the hilltops by late morning. Some patches of cloud around 500-600m may return late evening. Visibility generally very good or excellent, but moderate to poor in any showers and very poor in low cloud covering the hills.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
