Showers, of hail and on higher areas snow, mainly west Wales and also Scottish Highlands where risk thunder. Otherwise the day will improve as southerly winds become fairly light and cloud base rises to clear many higher summits. The air will be very clear indeed.
Fairly light wind; heavy showers, risk thunder.
Southerly; after dawn 20mph, perhaps 25mph. Will ease to 10 to 15mph by mid afternoon.
Becoming small
Heavy showers, mainly afternoon. Chance lightning.
Morning: isolated pockets rain (or snow above 450m) but extensively dry. From about midday: changing to heavier hail showers; in some areas precipitation possibly then.
Mostly clearing, but extensive at first
After dawn: some summits cloud free, but many foggy, in places from lower slopes up. Will markedly improve as cloud base rises. By late morning, cloud base widely above 900m, then intermittently clearing most or all tops (lowering again in precipitation).
Rising to 50% from midday
Bursts of sunshine and excellent visibility, although visibility abruptly very poor in precipitation, especially snow.
-1 or 0C after dawn before reaching 3C mid afternoon.
700 to 900m, rising to 1100m or above. Frost in many glens at dawn.

Southeast or easterly 15 to 20mph, strongest near central belt. Mostly only 10mph Angus.
Small
Isolated, if any showers
Risk of one or two hail flurries or showers in the afternoon. Patches of fine drizzle in low cloud late in day.
Nearly all clearing; but very low cloud spreading west late in day.
Patches of some higher slopes after dawn will mostly clear before midday. Higher tops may not clear or clear only briefly, before low cloud (perhaps covering lower slopes) envelops Angus, the Ochils and toward or in evening extends westwards.
80%
Patchwork of sunshine; later becoming dull from the east; otherwise, excellent or superb visibility.
2 rising to 4 to 7C, warmest west of A9, coldest Angus and Ochils.
1200m, before rising above the summits, although in lowland and upland valleys widely frosty after dawn.

Easterly 205 to in some areas (25 to possibly 35mph. Sudden gusts in places, locally reaching lower slopes.
Varied, in some areas small, but considerable buffeting particularly through cols and near and near downslope west of major summits.
Pockets of drizzle or light snow
Risk areas of fine drizzle or above about 800m light snow where in cloud Ochils and probably Angus.
Very extensive, but breaking toward west
Confidence low as to the extent of a low cloud layer coming in off the sea; very likely to envelop Ochils above 400 to 600m, probably Angus above 600m, and possibly westwards into Perthshire before breaking.
40%
Cloudy or dull Angus and Ochils; patches of sun elsewhere. Visibility excellent, but misty in precipitation.
0 to 2C. Due to wind chill, will feel as cold as minus 10C.
900m or above; lowest where in cloud.
Highland Scotland largely dry over the coming week, although often sub-freezing on higher slopes, and mainly toward the east patches of drizzle or light snow and low cloud. Sunshine intermittently western mountains. Elsewhere, intermittently wet and extensively cloudy. On higher slops, the precipitation often as snow, possibly significant falls mid week. Across the country, into the week, easterly winds sometimes near gale.
