Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A great day to be out on the hills. A chilly start and end to the day may warrant a few extra layers in the morning and evening. UV-levels remain moderate or high, so worth taking some sun protection.
Weather
A settled day with some cloudy periods or hazy sunshine in the early morning due to the presence of high-level cloud. More prolonged sunny spells from late morning onwards as the high cloud clears.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
95% throughout most of the day.
Low cloud and visibility
Possibly some mist or fog patches forming during the early morning in valleys; these may reduce the visibility locally but should quickly clear. Great views of distant hills for most of the day with cloud bases above summit.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information

Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40% during the early morning, soon becoming 10%.
Maximum wind speed expected
East or southeasterly 20-30mph gusting 30-40mph, isolated gusts of 40-45mph possible in exposed locations.
Temperature

Low cloud and visibility
Some good views of distant hills possible during the early morning with cloud bases above summits. However, extensive low cloud quickly moving in from the south will likely obscure hill tops for the rest of the day, resulting in poor or very poor visibilities. A slight improvement in visibility my occur in the west by the evening as low cloud starts to break.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
