Sunday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Sunshine and showers
A good amount of dry and bright weather, but scattered bursts of rain, some may be locally heavy.
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.

How windy? (On the Munros)
Southwesterly 20-30mph, but 40mph around and before dawn higher eastern tops. Trending towards higher speeds again later, gusting 35-40mph over high tops late in the day.
Effect of the wind on you?
Ease of walking impacted, increasingly strenuous through afternoon and feeling cool.
How Wet?
Morning rain, local showers afternoon
Several bands of rain drift west-to-east from before dawn into morning, brief heavy falls and dry windows. By middle of day, just patchy rain, greatest chance central highlands. Later afternoon a cluster of showers spreading from west, mostly into evening in east.
Cloud on the hills?
Summits increasingly clearing
Variable bases from 700-900m early morning, or lower during heavier rain at first, but lifting. Into afternoon, rising with high breaks forming likely above the summits. Patches return in showers over western tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
30% rising to 80%
Sunshine and air clarity?
A few glimpses of morning sunshine, then a patchwork of cloud and sun by middle of day. Visibility becomes excellent.

30%

Planning Outlook
A westerly Atlantic pattern dominates the new week: high pressure south and low pressure north will bring alternating periods of rain punctuated by bright sunshine. Wind generally on the strong side with mild to sometimes warm temperatures, though cooler and windier spells at times produce significant wind chill on Scottish tops. Western hill groups from Lakeland northward will see the most cloud and patchy rain, while east and southern areas likely drier and sunnier. This pattern is likely to continue into next weekend.
