Planning Outlook
All mountain areas of Britain from Wednesday 28th September 2016
Winds coming off the Atlantic will continue to bring rain to most mountain areas at some stage almost daily. Nevertheless, England and Wales substantially dry on Wednesday, and although a band of rain will move only slowly south across Wales on Thursday, mostly dry weather will follow - although there may well be showers on Friday. Across Scotland, widespread rain on Wednesday, especially W & NW Highlands, followed by extensive showery weather. Rain very likely next weekend, although whether mostly showery or whether a period of persistent rain comes through is as yet uncertain.
