Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Glimpses of sun mostly eastern glens. Visibility good below cloud, though hazier west, reducing in rain.

Intermittent rain
Showery rain spreading from the west, may become more frequent over a few hours central highlands, scattered heavier bursts passing eastward in afternoon.
Cloud on the hills?
Mostly higher and western tops
Cloud most frequent above 900-1000m in central highlands, but some breaks higher up. Further east, cloud clipping higher areas at times, but often clearing tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
50%

Planning Outlook
Staying unsettled during the next week to 10 days as westerlies prevail - areas of low pressure passing north of Scotland with frontal systems bringing frequent rain, wettest over western mountains in Scotland. Often windy, gale-force westerly winds for periods over higher terrain. Fairly warm and humid on Monday, then on the cooler side for several days, with considerable wind chill on the mountains. Higher pressure and better weather tends to expand further north later in month.
