Southerly between 20 and 30mph; least wind Borders; windiest Galloway where may reach 35mph for periods.
Mainly west from Moffat area, likely to impede ease of walking widely, locally giving considerable buffeting and wind chill.

Rain on and off, although into the Borders, the rain amounting to very little, particularly near Lothians and Cheviots.
Extensive west; very little east
Generally the hills persistently foggy, the cloud forming near or below 300m Galloway and 450m east to the Moffat area. Toward the Cheviots and Lothians, hills substantially cloud free.

Southeasterly speeds may well vary: typically 20mph Borders, but toward and west of M74 30 to sometimes 40mph.
Likely to impede ease of walking on higher areas, and toward Galloway give considerable buffeting and wind chill on some slopes.
Rain occasionally, mainly wet of M74
East of M74: Risk of a few bursts of rain. West of M74: Rain from time to time, generally amounting to little, but may set in for a couple of hours or so Galloway.
Mostly very little, but perhaps exetnsive Galloway
Fragments on higher slopes will clear most areas by mid morning. But in Galloway, particularly near the coast, fog may persist on the hills most of the day, sometimes covering lowest slopes near the coast.
60%
Occasional sun, mainly Borders, through layers of high level cloud. Good visibility although a haze, particularly Galloway.
5 rising to 9C, although near 7C Galloway.
Above the summits,
Much less cold next week with freezing levels above the mountains. Rain from time to time, particularly Wales - some of the rain heavy and thundery in character. Wind direction predominantly easterly, resulting in frequent low cloud on more eastern mountains, with highest cloud base often near the west coast.
