Planning Outlook
All mountain areas of Britain from Tuesday 27th January 2015
Upland winds frequently near gale force this week, perhaps occasionally easing toward the weekend as a low pressure becomes a broader feature across Britain. Higher Scottish summits frequently below freezing, although a temporary thaw late Tuesday into Wednesday. Freeze-thaw cycles further south, but from Wednesday on, much colder conditions will extend south to all areas, with snow to lower slopes, most concentrated on northern and western facing mountains.
