How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 15mph early, gradually rising, finishing 30-35mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Fairly small, but increasingly blustery, strenuous walking over tops into nighttime.
How Wet?
Substantially dry until later
A few patches of light rain drift over the moors from time to time, but probably dry well into the day, then a risk of more frequent rain, may set in for several hours towards evening.
Cloud on the hills?
Lifting to or above summits for several hours
Extensive to at least middle slopes for a few early hours, a lifting tendency, bases grazing the summits and probably several hours of often above the summits. Later, cloud returns extensively to high terrain.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to 60% for several hours
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mostly cloudy, a few brighter moments afternoon. Very good visibility as cloud breaks.
Temperature (at 600m)
11C rising up to 14C; may be slightly cooler afternoon, some variability.
And in the valleys
10 or 11C at dawn, rising to 18C.
Planning Outlook
Through Monday, cloud will return from the southwest and bring some patchy rain with it. From Tuesday onward, a variable southwesterly will dominate through at least mid-week. Windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west; Tuesday into Wednesday is likely a wetter and unsettled period, with the unsettled weather lingering well into Wednesday in Scotland. Warmest in England and Wales, but may stay cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, centred southeast of England, but low pressure to the west of Ireland will prevent any extended settled periods with more windy, wet weather at times next weekend; temperatures likely become more widely warm.
