Headline, The Lake District

Blustery. Showers. Cloud base slowly rising.

How Windy?

Westerly, 25 to on higher summits and ridges 30mph.

Effect Of Wind?

Mostly fairly small, but at times on higher areas, there may well be significant buffeting at times.

How Wet?

Showers

Drizzly showers, widespread in some areas in morning, but by afternoon, well scattered and only well inland.

Cloud on the hills?

Slowly lifting, eventually clearing most fells

Low cloud widespread at first, but by midday or early afternoon, mostly above 600 to 800m, lowest western hills. The base will rise slowly, and by late afternoon, cloud rare below 800m and may clear all summits.

Chance of cloud free Summits?

10% rising to 70% by the end of the afternoon

Sunshine and air clarity?

Glimpses of sunshine, possibly more widespread sun extending inland in afternoon. Visibility often good below cloud, but will drop in rain, and extensively foggy on higher areas, especially morning.

6C.

Freezing level

Above the summits.

Planning Outlook for all mountain areas from Thursday, 23rd May, 2013

Cold over the coming week. There will be freeze thaw cycles on higher Scottish summits, and on higher tops further south, temperatures often only a couple of degrees above freezing point. Total precipitation will be small, but there will be snow showers (often rain or hail on summits from S Scotland southwards), and occasionally, particularly in western Scotland, fronts may edge in bringing several hours of rain and low cloud. Generally summits will often be cloud free, and the visibility excellent.
