How windy? (On the summits)
Southerly or variable, 10-15mph. May rise late in the day - detail uncertain.

Cloud on the hills?
Little if any
Some patchy valley mist may linger in sheltered valleys at dawn. This soon fading for clear hills.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Above 90%

Haze will limit visibility and strength of sunshine. High cloud tending to fill in later in the day.

21 to 24C.

Planning Outlook
Very warm and humid over England and Wales in the first half of the week, this bringing a risk of thundery bursts of rain drifting northeastwards - these likely very local. Warm and humid air briefly extends across Scotland on Tuesday as well. Confidence in detail is low from Wednesday onward: risk of showers increasingly present from Wednesday evening through Thursday for many areas, which may produce heavy or thundery bursts and tending to stay warm. High pressure will rebuild from the north into the weekend, reducing the risk of rain and increasing the chance for sunny spells.
