Most mountains dry with light winds. Very warm and humid. Beware of dehydration. However, mainly on Pennines, locally gusty winds and on N Pennines and N & E Borders fog may persist. Isolated thunder mainly western mountains, but storms widespread Wales.
Warm; light wind. Fog some areas - higher tops above the cloud.
Northeasterly, 10 to locally 15mph, possibly 20mph Orchils.
Mostly negligible
Rain unlikely
Low risk isolated pockets of fine drizzle Orchils.
Extensive, before clearing many tops
Cloud extensive from dawn, forming many lower slopes up, and in many areas between 600 (base) and 900 or 1000m (top). During day most or all hills will clear, albeit very low cloud may affect the Orchils most or all day.
80% - although extensive fog lower slopes, morning
Increasingly sunny though possibly remaining dull Orchils. Hazy - although perhaps very clear air higher Munros.
Varied, typically 8C where in cloud, but up to 14C by midday elsewhere.
Above the summits.

Direction varied; 10mph or less. Near central belt, particularly Ochils northeasterly 15 or perhaps 20mph in morning.
Mostly negligible
Rain not expected
Risk persistent fog east; clearing west of A9 through morning.
Areas of fog from valleys up after dawn, but fog extensive Angus and Ochils. Nevertheless, some high summits above the fog around 1000-1100m. Most cloud will clear, although may leave patches below about 900m, perhaps stubborn to lower levels easternmost hills.
60%, but 30% easternmost hills.
Banks of cloud will tend to break up to give sunshine (in some areas perhaps above lower cloud). Haze may persist in some areas, but particularly higher up visibility excellent or superb.
10C at first and in cloud, rising as high as 17C by afternoon.
Above the summits.

Direction varied; 10mph or less.
Negligible
Rain not expected
Summits extensively cloud free
Patches of cloud temporarily some higher slopes in morning, and also fog in and just above many glens for a few hours following dawn. Risk that low cloud will come and go Ochils above 400m through the day.
90%
Extensive sunshine, although banks of cloud above some summits. Misty or foggy widely lower slopes at first. This clearing, and visibility improving.
17C; small variation all day.
Above the summits
Remaining warm and humid. However, thundery rain will become mostly confined to Wales, whilst the Scottish Highlands are extensively dry. Overall extensive sunshine, although banks of very low cloud, mainly more eastern mountains, including those in east Wales. A change to wetter and gradually less warm conditions across Britain is likely early next week.
