Summary for all mountain areas
Inversion conditions widely across Scottish highlands. High tops of Lakeland and Snowdonia also likely above a cloud layer. Feeling quite warm in the autumn sunshine on summits above the cloud; valleys and glens starting cooler. Cloudier over Pennines and east Wales, most fog rising to high terrain with local breaks.

Chance of cloud free Munros?
90% (summits above cloud)
Sunshine and air clarity?
Widely sunny above the cloud layer. Excellent visibility, some low level haze around eastern lowlands.

Generally northerly though variable 10mph or less. Locally gusty at all elevations.
Effect of the wind on you?
Negligible
How Wet?
No rain expected
Cloud on the hills?
Well-broken cloud lifts to high terrain
Well-broken cloud at various heights in the morning, including in the glens, high tops likely above the cloud layer. Bases will rise to higher terrain, remaining broken for regularly or frequently exposed tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
60%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patchy sunshine becomes more frequent on lower slopes as cloud base lifts. Very clear air over the tops, some haze lower down.
How Cold? (at 900m)
6 to 8C, warmer on summits above cloud layer. East of A9 perhaps cooler. Cool in the glens at dawn.
Freezing Level
Above the summits
Planning Outlook
High pressure resides over the country through the week, maintaining quiet weather. In the mornings, varied low cloud and morning fog is likely while inversion conditions likely to remain over highest mountains for several days. A haze will linger on low slopes below the inversion. During midweek the inversion starts to weaken as pressure begins to fall gradually; cloud will be well-broken for many and begin to lift to higher terrain. Light winds overall, an easterly breeze likely for Wales. Uncertainty about the weather pattern development toward next weekend: some indication of strengthening winds bringing some rain, but may not reach all areas. Later October has hints of chillier northerly air, especially in Scotland.
