Often strong winds across most hills, feeling chilly especially Scottish tops. A zone of frequent rain and heavy showery bursts passes eastwards across the Highlands, particularly northern areas. A front moves slowly south over England and Wales bringing rain, drizzle and low cloud, gradually clearing northern England later.
Breezy on higher areas. Soon generally dry, hills clearing with sun.
West to southwesterly; 30mph for periods early morning, mainly Cheviots, but 20-25mph by about midday.
Walking intermittently impeded by the wind, feeling cool on higher terrain.
Drizzly rain at first will clear; rare showers
Patchy rain from overnight and through dawn likely to drift away southwards early in the day; some steadier rain may continue for a few hours Cheviots. Becoming generally dry bar an odd shower into afternoon, mainly toward the Lothians.
Lifting, all clearing during morning.
Cloud will shroud lower slopes near Solway at first and more widely above 450m elsewhere in any early rain. Cloud base soon lifting to 600 to 800m, then generally all clearing by mid to late morning.
20% rising to 90%
Sunshine occasionally near Lothians in morning, but breaking through more widely to be mostly sunny widely by afternoon. Hazy start, poor visibility in early drizzle, but becoming very good then excellent.
10C, but where exposed to the wind in morning, will feel close to freezing point.

High pressure becomes established over Britain at the start of the new week, drifting toward Scandinavia by midweek. A weak front grazing past northwest Scotland on Tuesday brings low cloud and some possible dampness for a time here. Otherwise, very warm and particularly on western mountains often sunny. However, particularly in the mornings low cloud coming in off the North Sea will often envelop more eastern mountains from midweek. Fresh easterly breezes affecting England and Wales in the second half of the week, locally becoming very gusty. Lighter winds generally in Scotland.
