Often strong winds across most hills, feeling chilly especially Scottish tops. A zone of frequent rain and heavy showery bursts passes eastwards across the Highlands, particularly northern areas. A front moves slowly south over England and Wales bringing rain, drizzle and low cloud, gradually clearing northern England later.
Windy, rain, drizzle and low cloud, improving from north later.
West to southwesterly; 30-35mph morning. During afternoon, dropping perhaps abruptly to 20-25mph or briefly less.
Walking often impeded by the wind, and sometimes arduous with considerable wind chill. Improving later in day.
Rain and drizzle, mainly south & west Lakes
A mix of periods of drizzly rain - mostly south lakes and westernmost fells elsewhere - and occasional bursts of heavier rain more widely. During the afternoon, clearing from the north to become dry.
Mountains persistently cloud covered until late in day
Cloud will often shroud lower slopes south lakes and westernmost fells elsewhere. Highest cloud bases will be across northern/northeastern fells where cloud rarely below 500m, and breaks to 750m. Some rise of cloud base into afternoon with breaks developing as rain clears.
10%; late in day 50%
Generally overcast morning, some sun breaking through from north late in day. Hazy and visibility often poor in drizzle, improving toward evening to become very good.
10C, but where exposed to the wind, will feel close to freezing point.

High pressure becomes established over Britain at the start of the new week, drifting toward Scandinavia by midweek. A weak front grazing past northwest Scotland on Tuesday brings low cloud and some possible dampness for a time here. Otherwise, very warm and particularly on western mountains often sunny. However, particularly in the mornings low cloud coming in off the North Sea will often envelop more eastern mountains from midweek. Fresh easterly breezes affecting England and Wales in the second half of the week, locally becoming very gusty. Lighter winds generally in Scotland.
