Residual heavy rain and low cloud from overnight will clear east in morning. Chiller conditions follow to all areas with a gusty southwesterly wind and showers; most frequent across Wales and also western Scotland where they will fall as sleet on the highest munros.
Heavy rain clearing to showers. Increasingly blustery.
Lull at dawn (legacy of overnight gales soon clearing easternmost hills) Then southwest winds increasing through morning; in range 25-35mph by afternoon.
Increasingly blustery into the afternoon with conditions fairly arduous with considerable wind chill and buffeting.
Heavy rain clearing, then showers.
Wet start, as heavy rain from overnight lingers for a few hours after dawn, before clearing by late morning. Then dry for a time, before showers move in from the west, some heavy with risk thunder.
Extensive at first, lifting to tops.
Murky start with extensive low cloud across the fells. However, marked rise in bases through morning as front clears, with cloud becoming confined to tops in afternoon.
20% lifting to 60% in afternoon.

After a dry start, anticipate a deterioration as showers move in from the west and become frequent and increasingly heavy. Small risk thunder.
Becoming fairly extensive higher slopes.
Fells mostly clear at first, but increasingly, as rain moves in from the west, cloud will lower onto the fells and becoming extensive above 600-800m.
Lowering to 30%

Chillier than of late, some days near freezing on higher Scottish tops with sleet and wet snow at times on the highest Munros.
