How windy? (On the Munros)
Northerly 15 to 25mph, strongest higher tops near and east of Glenshee.
Effect of the wind on you?
Fairly small, but more noticeable and feeling chilly on higher slopes in east.
How Wet?
Rain not expected
Cloud on the hills?
Varied mostly patches
Patchy cloud banks around some hill slopes, but higher summits may poke out above cloud. Also fog in some glens.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
60%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patchwork of sun, best toward central belt. Visibility very good, some haze lower down or fog patches in morning.
How Cold? (at 900m)
1 to 3C, little change higher up on Munros. Feeling like -5C in stronger wind.
Freezing Level
Above the summits, but patchy frost in glens at first, also some sheltered higher slopes and corries.
Planning Outlook
High pressure centred over Scotland will persist during early November bringing settled conditions. Generally dry weather, but some areas of misty dampness and regular fog on low ground, some cloud banks on hills but also inversion conditions on high tops, particularly Scotland. Overnight frost in glens will be common, plus some frost pockets for sheltered high terrain, whilst many summits will stay often just above freezing point. Light winds for several days into next week for Scotland, but stronger easterlies are likely for England and particularly Wales which would push cloud banks higher up here during the week ahead.
