Variable; morning and evening rain/snow, mostly cloudy
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southerly overnight gales ease, typically to a southerly 20-25mph during daytime, though some stronger gusts possible. Trending more variable later in the day in direction and speed and perhaps easing into a lull for a few hours.
Effect of the wind on you?
Most likely fairly small for half the day or more, but beware possibility of worsening conditions toward or beyond sunset.
How Wet?
Morning rain and hill snow, returns late
Overnight hill snow finishing mainly as rain toward higher slopes, fading through morning. Largely dry for several hours, but risk further persistent rain soon setting in south and east later afternoon, returning to snow on tops overnight.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive, lowering
Banks of cloud shrouding many hills, risk extensive to mid-slopes in south-facing areas, some local breaks north of major hill groups for a time. Lowering widely as rain/snow develops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Largely overcast, dull in rain. Visibility locally may be good out of cloud for a time in morning, but then poor in rain/snow.
How Cold? (at 900m)
2 or 3C, then into night nearer 0C. Feeling like -10C or below if exposed to stronger winds.
Freezing Level
Rising up to dawn, likely above the summits most of the day. Tending to drop afternoon to 1200m central highlands, some variability, but more widely 1000m overnight.

Planning Outlook
A risk of local flooding remains on Tuesday in Wales and the Lake district following Monday's heavy rain. Areas of low pressure circulating to the west and north will dominate the weather pattern in the week ahead, bringing generally unsettled weather. Temperatures near average - higher mountains near or just below freezing point likely for the remainder of the week. Often showery and cloudy in the west with broader bands of rain regularly passing east. Wind speed likely to vary though often quite strong with risk of gales coming and going. First indications suggest unsettled weather will remain dominant into the weekend.
