How windy? (On the Munros)
Uncertain forecast: Southerly - a possible lull after overnight gales, but risk a sudden increase again during day to 50mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Small perhaps for a few hours in morning, but risk of conditions worsening again to give difficult walking.
How Wet?
Rain and hill snow likely develops
Overnight hill snow finishing mainly as rain toward higher slopes, fading by dawn. Largely dry for a few hours, but risk further persistent rain soon setting in from south, turning back to snow on tops.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive, lowering
Banks of cloud shrouding many hills, risk extensive to mid-slopes in south-facing areas, some local breaks north of major hill groups for a time. Lowering widely as rain/snow develops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Largely overcast, dull in rain. Visibility locally may be good out of cloud for a time in morning, but then poor in rain/snow.
How Cold? (at 900m)
1 or 2C, later 0C. Feeling like -10C or below if exposed to stronger winds.
Freezing Level
Rising up to dawn, to around 1100-1200m, briefly higher. Tending to drop later to around 900-1000m.
Planning Outlook
After a lull on Sunday, areas of low pressure then circulating to the west and north will dominate the weather pattern into next week, bringing generally unsettled weather. Southwesterly air and briefly milder into Monday, with rain for most places at times, but prolonged heavier rain for England and Wales. Then typically cooler with showery conditions - higher mountains near or just below freezing point likely for the remainder of the week - some snow on tops, occasional hail. Wind speed likely to vary, some squally gusty spells, but also some lulls possible during the week ahead.
