Sunday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Cool to mild
Air temperature 5 to 10C on higher terrain. Comfortable temperatures on lower terrain, but feeling chilly if exposed to wind higher up, especially if stationary. Pack extra layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
Scotland: Strong and gusty south-westerly winds will drive hill fog and frequent rainfall across western mountains, setting in during afternoon. Rainfall patchier across eastern hills with higher bases. England and Wales: Windy with patchy light rain onto western hills, becoming more widely damp or wet through the day.
Headline for Peak District
Blustery, with low cloud lifting off the hills. A little patchy rain, mainly later in day.
How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 25-30mph, periods of stronger speeds, particularly later where may be sustained at or above 35mph.

How Wet?
Little rain until later
A few spots of light rain may drift onto the hills from the southwest from time to time, but the hills may be dry well into the day. A rising risk as afternoon goes of increasing patchy rain.
Cloud on the hills?
Likely clearing all hills
May be fairly extensive from 500m upward in the early hours, but soon lifting and breaking, perhaps entirely above the summits by midday and through afternoon.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to 80%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine in the morning will be weakened by high cloud, turning overcast later. Very good visibility.

Planning Outlook
The unsettled period of weather will persist over the coming week with low pressure area centres tracking just to the northwest of Scotland, allowing south-westerly winds to prevail. Rainfall often showery in nature, but coming in frequently to western mountains with the greatest falls for western Scotland. Chilly and windy at times; freezing level touching highest tops Scotland on Tuesday and Wednesday, when showers will fall as snow over the tops. Temperatures trending milder again next weekend, pressure may begin to rise in the south to give drier weather more widely.
