How windy? (On the Munros)
Northerly or variable 10 to 15mph or less, possibly 20mph easternmost tops in morning.
Effect of the wind on you?
Mostly small.
How Wet?
Dry all day
Cloud on the hills?
Low-level fog clears
Fog in glens and some lower hill slopes early in day, patchy cloud may drift upslope locally, but mostly dispersing.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
80%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine and patchy cloud. Visibility very good, some early fog in glens.
How Cold? (at 900m)
2 or 3C, small variation with height from glens up early morning, or all day above about 700m.
Freezing Level
Some higher slopes close to freezing, plus patchy frost in some glens early morning.
Planning Outlook
High pressure will dominate the weather pattern through into the start of November bringing settled conditions. Broadly dry for a week or so, but some areas of misty dampness and regular fog on low ground, whilst many hills would be in the clear above an inversion, particularly in Scotland next week. Overnight frost in glens will be common, plus some frost pockets for sheltered high terrain, whilst many summits will stay often just above freezing point. Light winds for several days into next week for Scotland, but stronger easterlies are likely for England and particularly Wales which would push cloud banks higher up here during the week ahead.
