Cloud on the hills?
Small amounts on tops
Patchy cloud sometimes drifting over upper slopes, but often breaking above many summits. May come and go more often near and east of Lochnagar.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
70%

Sunshine frequent many areas, more cloud furthest east. Visibility mostly excellent, locally reduced if in showers.
How Cold? (at 900m)
-4C. Wind chill feeling like -15 to -20C.
Freezing Level

Planning Outlook
A cold week ahead, staying below freezing across all mountains, much terrain will be frozen from valleys upward. An area of low pressure and associated fronts will pass southeastward during Tuesday, bringing some persistent snowfalls, including to lower slopes particularly inland across the Highlands, some substantial accumulations over higher terrain. Strong to gale force northerlies Wednesday-Thursday, bringing snow and hail showers focused on northern Scotland and onto north-facing coastal districts elsewhere. By Friday into next weekend, winds shift back westerly and freezing levels rise to upper slopes - some rain likely, snow on high tops at times.
