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 on the hills with good views. However, staying hydrated and protected from the sun despite the high-level cloud will be key.

Weather

Some low cloud may affect eastern parts in the morning but should quickly dissipate by mid-morning. Hazy sunshine for the rest of the day. Low cloud likely returning by the evening and overnight with patch rain.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops

95% for most areas. 70% across eastern parts in the morning.

Low cloud and visibility

Low cloud possibly covering eastern summits in the morning. By mid-morning low cloud dissipating to give excellent visibilities of distant hills with cloud bases remaining above summits. Low cloud returning during the evening on eastern summits.

Ground conditions

No recent ground conditions report available.
