Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Patchy rain or drizzle
Rain on and off, or generally drizzly - total amounts small, but may be persistently damp, especially where hills are shrouded in cloud.
Cool to mild
Air temperature 8 to 12C on higher terrain. Comfortable temperatures on lower terrain, but feeling chilly if exposed to wind higher up, especially if stationary. Pack extra layers.

Planning Outlook
A settling trend begins later Sunday as high pressure begins building from the southwest. High pressure will become dominant across England and Wales Monday and Tuesday, keeping weather substantially dry with increasing chance of sunny spells. In Scotland, low pressure to the north will facilitate a consistent westerly through much of the week, driving several weak fronts onto northwestern coasts - often cloudy here with periods of rain, tending to be drier with sunny spells in east Scotland. Temperatures will be near average. Some uncertainty about next weekend - fronts are likely to continue drifting towards Scotland, though possibly interrupted by dry and warm air from the continent pushing north.
