Southeastern Highlands
The southern Highlands as far west as the Callander area and north to Loch Ericht, Drumochter and summits near Glenshee ski-centre (summits within the historic county of Perthshire). Also Ochils and Angus hills.
Today's Forecast
Light wind, negligible impact
Little wind or walking hardly affected by the wind, but feeling chilly if exposed on tops. 10-15mph or less.
Dry, Inversion
Banks of cloud or fog on lower or middle slopes, but higher terrain likely clear and sunny above an inversion.
Hazy, some fog banks
.jpg "Hazy, some fog banks"){kind=icon}
Hazy views with lack of air clarity, particularly on lower terrain, some fog banks on hills making navigation locally more difficult. If above an inversion, the air outstandingly clear.
Cool to mild
Air temperature 5 to 10C on higher terrain. Comfortable temperatures on lower terrain, but feeling chilly if exposed to wind higher up, especially if stationary. Pack extra layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
Inversion conditions still probable over Scottish Highland summits; exposed rock in fog below the inversion may be slippery, notably early. High Lakeland and Snowdonia summits near or above cloud as well. A mix of cloud and sun elsewhere as morning fog lifts, some haze below cloud later. Feeling mild to warm.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
High tops above an inversion, most cloud east and south
How windy? (On the Munros)
West to northwesterly or variable, 10mph or less, rare gusts 15mph, greatest risk early.
Effect of the wind on you?
Small
How Wet?
No rain expected
Fine mist the low fog layers may make exposed rock notably slippery, particularly around dawn.
Cloud on the hills?
Cloud banks mostly towards south and east, tops above inversion
Cloud banks around some mid to upper slopes, most likely toward east and southern lowlands. Also fog around some glens and lochs at first. Bases tend to rise but higher Munros likely above a cloud layer. Some areas largely clear all day, best chance central highlands.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
80% (above top of a cloud layer)
Sunshine and air clarity?
A good amount of sunshine, particularly on higher tops in very clear air above an inversion. Some misty areas lower down early in day, hazy towards the southern lowlands.
How Cold? (at 900m)
7 to 9C, warmest west of A9; possibly reaching 10C around Callander/Loch Tay. High tops above the inversion in the area will likely rise a degree or two.
Freezing Level
Above the summits. Possible slight frost in glens at dawn.

Exposed rock surfaces in the fog at dawn may be slick, mostly middle and lower elevations.
Cloud on the hills?
Well-broken cloud lifts to high terrain
Well-broken cloud at various heights in the morning, including in the glens, high tops above the cloud layer. Bases will rise to higher terrain, remaining broken for regularly or frequently exposed tops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
60%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Patchy sunshine becomes more frequent on lower slopes as cloud base lifts. Very clear air over the tops, some haze lower down.
How Cold? (at 900m)
6 to 8C, warmer on summits above cloud layer. Warmest around Callander. Cool in the glens at dawn.
Freezing Level
Above the summits

Planning Outlook
High pressure lingers over the country through the later days of this week: in the mornings, varied low cloud and valley fog is likely with highest tops still possibly above the cloud layer. As the weekend approaches, the inversion starts to weaken as pressure begins to fall gradually; cloud will begin to lift to higher slopes, starting to shroud mountain peaks more often. Local cloud breaks, best of breaks in west Wales, though a haze will linger on low slopes while high pressure remains in charge. Light winds overall, an easterly breeze likely for Wales. Next weekend looks to be transitional as low pressure becomes favored. Winds rising with increasing cloud and a risk of rain.
