Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Widespread low cloud for much of the day will make for difficult navigation at times. Where the sun breaks out later in the afternoon UV levels will be high so suitable protection is advised. Windy conditions will make for fairly arduous walking on exposed terrain with buffeting of clothing. Balance may be affected at times
Weather
Largely dry through the early hours, though the odd spot of light rain can't be ruled out. Dry to start the day with some brightness but cloud and outbreaks of rain gradually spread south during the morning, rain perhaps heavy at times. This starting to clear from mid-afternoon with dry weather and sunny spells following. Strong west to southwest winds in the morning will ease through the afternoon.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
75% first thing, falling to 20% or less by midday. Rising to 90% or higher from late afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Mostly clear summits in the early morning with only the odd patch of cloud around 400-600m. Widespread cloud down to 400-600m will spread south through the morning with visibilities falling moderate or poor in hill fog and outbreaks of rain. This clearing during later during the afternoon to leave summits clear and good visibilities again.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
