Summary for all mountain areas
Northerly winds continue, typically strongest North Pennines & Cheviots. Cool or cold; lowest temperatures in northern Scotland, where sub-zero above 800-1000m, and occasional snow flurries. Low cloud, rain & drizzle affects Pennine areas for several hours.
Headline for Peak District
Chilly, brisk wind on tops. Rain and low cloud, then risk local showers.
How windy? (On the summits)

How Wet?
Rain & drizzle morning; isolated showers PM.
Rain spreading from the north around dawn likely to come and go through the morning. Sometimes persistent with local heavier bursts, at times just drizzly. Rain mostly fading into afternoon, leaving isolated heavy showers - these focused toward west, and most may indeed miss Peak District to the west.
Cloud on the hills?
Mostly morning, lowest in rain
Cloud often covering most higher tops in the morning, and where rain persists, forming below 500m for a time. Will tend to lift and break into the afternoon, generally clearing above 600m. Local patches returning if showers occur.
Chance of cloud free summits?
40% rising to 80% afternoon.
Sunshine and air clarity?
After a mostly cloudy morning, patches of sun developing into the afternoon onward. Visibility poor around rain and low cloud; improving, becoming very good; only reduced again around local showers.

7 or 8C. Feeling closer to 2C where exposed to strongest wind.

Planning Outlook
Pressure builds across Britain to start the week, leaving just isolated showers. During Tuesday, a front moves into western Scotland - the legacy of this likely to bring a dull, damp day on Wednesday for some. Uncertainty later in the week: high pressure toward north/east, whilst areas of showers may move around slowly. Temperatures recovering gradually. Please be aware of currently different restrictions regarding Covid-19 across Scotland, England & Wales. Refer to local guidance or instructions from the National Parks and outdoor bodies, and please respect local communities in areas which are gradually reopening.
