Chance of cloud free Munros?
50% (above fog on tops)
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine and hazy high cloud. Visibility excellent, but lower down near the central belt may be foggy or hazy at least.
How Cold? (at 900m)
1 or 2C.
Freezing Level
Close to freezing on tops above 1000m all day and possibly frost widely in the glens early morning.
Planning Outlook
A slack pressure pattern to start the new week over Scotland, maintaining varied low cloud and fog. Lowering pressure to the south and an increasing easterly wind for England & Wales. Rain pushes into Wales on Tuesday, reaching the south Pennines with time, persisting in these areas into Wednesday, but very little extending further northwards. Into the second half of the week, a switch to a colder northerly flow will likely drop the freezing level to 800m increasingly widely for Thursday-Friday, plus frost on low ground. Some snow showers on northern Scottish mountains, but largely dry weather elsewhere. During next weekend, a shift to a less cold Atlantic influence - a changeable mix likely into the following week.
