Southeastern Highlands
The southern Highlands as far west as the Callander area and north to Loch Ericht, Drumochter and summits near Glenshee ski-centre (summits within the historic county of Perthshire). Also Ochils and Angus hills.
Saturday's Forecast
Light wind, negligible impact
Little wind or walking hardly affected by the wind, but feeling chilly if exposed on tops. 10-15mph or less.
Frequent or persistent rain
Steady rain fairly persistent, occasionally heavy, rather wet underfoot.
Poor visibility
Murky conditions with areas of fog shrouding the hills, making navigation challenging. Map and compass essential.
Warm
Comfortable temperatures on the hills, 10 to 15C on tops, feeling pleasantly warm especially on lower ground. Beware of feeling cooler if exposed to wind on higher terrain.

Summary for all mountain areas
Fairly cloudy Scottish highlands, drizzly tops east where a risk of thundery showers; drier west, local bright breaks. A rising risk of heavy/thundery showers forming over Southern Uplands. Very warm and sunny in England, but high cloud and a risk of showers far north later. Extensive hot sunshine for Wales.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Foggy on high terrain with risk thundery showers
How windy? (On the Munros)
Generally easterly 10-15mph, strongest breezes around Callander; locally lower speeds. Local sudden strong gusts in varied directions accompany heavy/thundery showers.
Effect of the wind on you?
Mostly small, but sudden strong gusts near showers will inconvenience walking .
How Wet?
Drizzle, patchy rain, risk thundery showers
A fine drizzle on the high tops east of the A9 much of the day. Occasional patches of rain affecting most hills, a risk of pop-up heavy showers forming, mostly concentrated to eastern hills groups and moving further eastward once formed.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive
Extensive to low slopes at dawn, including fog into glens, particularly towards the east lowlands. Bases tending to rise, breaks to 700-900m, highest towards Loch Ericht, but any higher breaks localised and fleeting, lower patches returning where showers occur.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
30%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast, sometimes dull and poor visibility on high terrain. Where below cloud, visibility will be very good.
How Cold? (at 900m)
11 to 13C, mildest towards central highlands. Where showers occur, temperature briefly drops a few degrees.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.

At dawn, extensive cloud to most lower slopes, many places into glens. Lifting through morning, bases towards central highlands increasingly broken to or above 900m afternoon. East of A9 slower to break, perhaps only later in the day.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
20%, rising to 50% towards central highlands
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast, misty on high terrain to start. Glimpses of sun breaking out, best breaks west with very good visibility. Cloudiest near east lowlands.

Chance of cloud free Munros?
Rising to 80%
Sunshine and air clarity?
A patchwork of cloud and sunshine. Very good visibility.
How Cold? (at 900m)

Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Staying very warm late weekend into next week. High pressure north of the country keeps the skies mostly clear and facilitates an an easterly flow, pushing the warmest temperatures to western hill groups. Northeastern areas will see early sea fog under the high pressure, this dissipating in the sun through morning. Scottish highlands seeing temperatures often rise into the mid-teens, valley temperatures to the 20s west; warmest Wales where hill temperatures often to 20C or higher. A fairly sustained breeze most of the week in England and Wales, at times stronger and quite gusty. Low pressure south of the country may push cloud and showers into Wales, though confidence remains low, and could remain largely dry. Detail uncertain later next week, but a milder northerly flow may begin to establish.
