Planning Outlook
All mountain areas of Britain from Friday 25th August 2017
On Sunday, light winds and largely dry across many mountain areas will cloud lifting to higher slopes. However, showers will give way to more frequent rain across western Scotland where hill fog will be extensive. Westerly winds will become re-established into next week with further periods of rain and low cloud; especially across the west and northwest Highlands.
