Summary for all mountain areas

Some early drizzle and patchy light rain in northern Scotland fades by afternoon. Elsewhere dry all day and often sunny though some high cloud weakening sun in places; sun may be more patchy east Scotland and later northern England. Warm southern Pennines and Wales. Light wind, though starting blustery in east Scotland.

Headline for Southeastern Highlands

Blustery early, easing; patchy sun, more extensive later afternoon

How windy? (On the Munros)

Northwesterly 20-30mph dawn, strongest east and gusty, approaching 40mph east of Glenshee/Angus hills. Shifting northerly and easing to the lower end of the range by afternoon, then widely lowering to 10-15mph into evening, always strongest east.

Effect of the wind on you?

Blustery in exposure in the morning, gusts in the east will challenge stability with a notable wind chill. Gradually easing to mostly small effects by later afternoon; slow to ease over Angus hills.

How Wet?

A few light patches on northern Munros

A few spots of light rain drifting onto northern Munros, including near and east of Glenshee. Hills south of Loch Rannoch/Pitlochry entirely dry, and afternoon widely dry.

Cloud on the hills?

Mostly clearing

Banks of cloud above 800m at dawn, the summits probably shrouded to start, but cloud soon lifts and begins breaking up, the summits probably clear of cloud from midday onward; caps linger longest near Glenshee, and a risk of a broader bank of cloud for a few afternoon hours.

Chance of cloud free Munros?

Rising to 90%

Sunshine and air clarity?

Patchy sunshine, some cloudier moments, but becoming widely sunny through later afternoon. Very good visibility.

How Cold? (at 900m)

5C rising to 10 or 11C; a degree cooler near and east of Glenshee. Feeling below freezing in early wind but, wind chill eases.

Freezing Level

Above the summits.

Cloud on the hills?

Largely clear until later

Banks of cloud at various heights in the morning, perhaps extensive, including in glens and corries. Cloud lifts, dissipating through morning for clear Munros for a time. Some afternoon banks reforming, then a rising risk of a sheet of cloud encroaching from the southwest.

Chance of cloud free Munros?

80%, later deteriorating

Sunshine and air clarity?

Becoming mostly sunny, high cloud thickening through afternoon. Very good visibility.

How windy? (On the Munros)

Southerly 15-20mph, trending higher with time, tops speeds to 25-30mph over high summits afternoon.

Effect of the wind on you?

Fairly small for a time, but increasingly blustery, ease of walking affected in exposure and feeling chilly.

How Wet?

Patchy rain

Patchy rain drifts from the south and southwest much of the day. Dry windows probably for several midday hours, but always a risk of light patches drifting into eastern hills. Later, more frequent falls probably.

Cloud on the hills?

Extensive

All hills shrouded above 600-700m all day, lower bases in the morning. Some brief higher breaks north of Loch Rannoch to Glenshee afternoon, but then returning widely extensively into evening.

Chance of cloud free Munros?

10%

Sunshine and air clarity?

Overcast, often dull. Poor visibility on high terrain due to fog, better under cloud.

How Cold? (at 900m)

6C rising to 9C. Feeling like +1 to 3C in direct wind.

Freezing Level

Above the summits.

Planning Outlook

Through Monday, cloud will return from the southwest and bring some patchy rain with it. From Tuesday onward, a variable southwesterly will dominate through at least mid-week. Windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west; Tuesday into Wednesday is likely a wetter and unsettled period, with the unsettled weather lingering well into Wednesday in Scotland. Warmest in England and Wales, but may stay cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, centred southeast of England, but low pressure to the west of Ireland will prevent any extended settled periods with more windy, wet weather at times next weekend; temperatures likely become more widely warm.
