Summary for all mountain areas
Chilly and showery west Scottish highlands, fewer showers east but several afternoon hours of more widespread rain, later easing. Some early showers from south Scotland to north Wales, largely fading with sun breaks; south Wales is dry and brighter. Strong wind widely, easing Wales and north Scotland.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Momentary gales over tops; some showers, rainier afternoon
How windy? (On the Munros)
West-northwesterly 35-45mph, strongest gusts occasionally approaching 50mph over highest tops. Steadily northwesterly later in the day, some variability, and may ease slightly as night falls.
Effect of the wind on you?
Arduous walking over the high tops with significant wind chill likely all day. Maintaining stability requires sustained effort.
How Wet?
Showery rain, setting in for a time afternoon
Rain drifting from the northwest for much of the day, some more persistent falls possible near Loch Ericht. Rain sets in more widely for several afternoon hours, always driest towards Ochil hills. Easing later, mostly dry near Loch Tay by evening, east of Glenshee slowest to clear.
Cloud on the hills?
Mostly just tops, more extensive afternoon
Banks over the high tops likely from dawn, best chance of breaks east of the A9; more sheet-like cloud towards central highlands with bases to 800m. Summits east of A9 will see increasing breaks through morning, but cloud fills in more extensively for several afternoon hours, only later breaking.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
50%, deteriorating to 20% afternoon
Sunshine and air clarity?
Bursts of sunshine, particularly lower slopes eastern areas, then several overcast hours afternoon. Very good visibility out of cloud and rain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
5 or 6C, rising to 7C. Feeling as cold as -5 to -7C in direct wind.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.

How windy? (On the Munros)
Variable 10mph or less, orienting east-southeasterly and rising to 10-15mph afternoon, some variability.
Effect of the wind on you?
Mostly small.
How Wet?
Dry most of daylight
Late in the day, some patchy rain approaches from the southwest, but most Munros stay dry until nighttime when rain may become more frequent.
Cloud on the hills?
Largely clear until later
Some uncertainty, but banks of cloud at various heights in the morning, perhaps extensive, and including into glens and corries. Much of this cloud lifts, dissipating through morning for clear Munros. Later afternoon, a rising risk of a sheet of cloud encroaching from the southwest.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
80%, later deteriorating
Sunshine and air clarity?
Becoming mostly sunny, high cloud thickening through afternoon. Very good visibility.
How Cold? (at 900m)
6 or 7C at dawn, rising to 9 or 10C.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Sunday will be a clearing day for most under a core of high pressure: early rain in Scottish Highlands easing, most cloud lifting off all hills except the north of Scotland, and good sunshine through weakened by high cloud. Temperature more widely mild, warm in Wales. Into next week, a mixed southwesterly pattern remains, windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west. Warmest in England and Wales, but may stay cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. Tuesday into Wednesday shows indications of a wetter and windier spell. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, but extensively settled weather remains elusive until at least the following week.
