How windy? (On the Munros)
Forecast details very uncertain. Southwesterly 40 to 50mph, risk sustained 60mph. Very gusty.
Effect of the wind on you?
Difficult walking conditions will make progress challenging. Very powerful gusts may easily blow you over. Significant wind chill.
How Wet?
Little or no rain
Probably substantially dry, particularly east of the A9, but risk of rain encroaching from the west occasionally throughout the day into the central highlands, may be only spots in the wind.
Cloud on the hills?
Probably clearing eastern tops
Patchy cloud on high ground will likely lift and clear into the afternoon. Should rain occur, cloud will become widespread over higher slopes, risk lowering to the mid-slopes at times central highlands.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
50%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patchy sunshine through high cloud. Excellent visibility inland; hazy over the North Sea.
How Cold? (at 900m)
8C. Feeling around -5C in the wind.
Freezing Level
Well above the summits.
Planning Outlook
An ongoing unsettled outlook generally dominated by low pressure. Extensive rain and gales into midweek, likely wettest on west-coastal regions. Areas of rain and showers frequently in the forecast later in the week. Temperatures near-average, but feeling cool when exposed to wind. A chillier northwesterly may emerge by next weekend, briefly dropping near freezing on highest Scottish tops. Indications then favour higher pressure at least briefly expanding northwards early next week for some drier days, but unlikely to settle down for long.
