Summary for all mountain areas
Scotland: Strong and gusty south-westerly winds will drive hill fog and frequent rainfall across western mountains, setting in during afternoon. Rainfall patchier across eastern hills with higher bases. England and Wales: Windy with patchy light rain onto western hills, becoming more widely damp or wet through the day.
Headline for Brecon Beacons
Blustery with low cloud, gradually lifting to tops or above. May turn widely damp later.

Planning Outlook
The unsettled period of weather will persist over the coming week with low pressure area centres tracking just to the northwest of Scotland, allowing south-westerly winds to prevail. Rainfall often showery in nature, but coming in frequently to western mountains with the greatest falls for western Scotland. Chilly and windy at times; freezing level touching highest tops Scotland on Tuesday and Wednesday, when showers will fall as snow over the tops. Temperatures trending milder again next weekend, pressure may begin to rise in the south to give drier weather more widely.
