How windy? (On the summits)
Southeasterly 25 to 30mph, some stronger gusts may develop.
Effect of the wind on you?
Affecting ease of walking on high terrain, some gusty spots even lower down also noticeable; marked wind chill.

Starting dry, then a little patchy rain moving in from the south with time, may become more persistent later, but amounts fairly small.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive, some breaks west
Cloud likely to cover many hills in the morning, in places foggy from lower elevations upward in the east, with better breaks west. Some of the low cloud may lift for a time, then returning on hills in rain.
Chance of cloud free summits?
30%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Largely cloudy, hazy or misty. Some brighter moments further west.
Temperature (at 600m)
5 or 6C. Feeling like -5C directly in the wind.
And in the valleys
5C or locally cooler in shelter at dawn. Rising to 8 or 9C afternoon.
Planning Outlook
A slack pressure pattern to start the new week over Scotland, maintaining varied low cloud and fog. Lowering pressure to the south and an increasing easterly wind for England & Wales. Rain pushes into Wales on Tuesday, reaching the south Pennines with time, persisting in these areas into Wednesday, but very little extending further northwards. Into the second half of the week, a switch to a colder northerly flow will likely drop the freezing level to 800m increasingly widely for Thursday-Friday, plus frost on low ground. Some snow showers on northern Scottish mountains, but largely dry weather elsewhere. During next weekend, a shift to a less cold Atlantic influence - a changeable mix likely into the following week.
