Planning Outlook for all mountain areas from Monday, 27th May, 2013

Deteriorating on Monday as strong to gale force upland winds and rain spreads eastwards, although it may make only slow progress toward the Pennines. Areas of showers will follow, and winds will drop. Later in the week, one or two bands of rain and low cloud will run in off the Atlantic to affect particularly western mountains, but England and Wales largely fine. Freezing level rarely if ever below highest summits.
