Weather warnings for Carn Bhac

Further details

Periods of rain, sleet and snow will spread southeastwards across Scotland at times through Monday and Monday night, accumulating snow initially on hills (typically above 200 m elevation) but falling to lower levels at times later in the day and overnight. Further scattered wintry showers will arrive from the northwest later in the night and into Tuesday morning.

The greatest accumulations of snow will be during Monday evening and night, where 1-2 cm will be possible in places at low levels (away from north-facing coasts), 2-5 cm above about 150 m elevation and 5-8 cm above 300 m. With temperatures falling below freezing, ice is likely on untreated surfaces, even where precipitation may have fallen as rain or sleet. A few isolated lightning strikes will be additional hazards.

Strong north to northwesterly winds are also likely during Monday evening and night across the Northern Isles and northeastern parts of the mainland, where gusts in more exposed areas could reach 50-60 mph.
