Summary for all mountain areas
Although high pressure will dominate - bringing high temperatures and sunshine to Wales and most of England, in the far north and across Scotland, high level cloud may bring rain for an hour or two, this leading to formation of low cloud that may be very slow to lift.

Light wind; rain temporarily in some areas. Low cloud only slowly lifting.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southerly 15mph; perhaps 20mph near central belt.
Effect of the wind on you?
Fairly small

Occasional rain - probably light
Moderate risk of rain for an hour or two. The rain mostly or only light - just the odd heavier burst.

Planning Outlook
A few days of often sunny and very warm weather. Some doubt remains about daytime temperatures - these possibly exceptionally hot on Wednesday (England and Wales) and Thursday (everywhere). The range in mountain temperatures given on Wednesday's forecasts reflects the uncertainty. Gradually less hot Friday and into the weekend; the change accompanied by thunderstorms in some areas.
