How windy? (On the summits)
West to northwesterly 30 to 45mph, strongest sustained speeds in morning, but may increase again toward dusk.
Effect of the wind on you?
Significant wind chill, very blustery, strenuous walking on high terrain, buffeting gusts making balance challenging.

Showers all day, most frequent toward coastal areas early morning, but soon widespread, heavy bursts with hail, risk isolated thunder; snow at times falling on tops mostly above 700m.

Varying over tops
Banks of cloud often covering higher areas in the north and west above 800m in the morning, tending to lift higher with breaks above even the higher tops, but ragged patches to 600m in showers.
Chance of cloud free summits?
40%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Brief bursts of sun and intermittently excellent visibility, but suddenly very poor during showers, appalling if in snow/hail and cloud on tops.

Planning Outlook
Notably chilly for mid-May across the hills this week as air from the north-northwest prevails. Frequently near or below freezing over Scottish Munros, and at times dropping to freezing on high tops in England and Wales. Wind speed will vary, but increasing at times to gale force on hills, giving significant chill factor. Broadly showery, heavy bursts with hail and thunder in places, also often falling as snow on higher mountains, at least in Scotland, intermittently elsewhere. Some more persistent precipitation especially northwest Scotland. Also some drier windows - varying locally day-to-day - away from showers cloud will lift above hills and visibility will be very good. Less windy and fewer showers suggested by next weekend into early next week.
