Today's Forecast
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 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
Chilly and showery west Scottish highlands, fewer showers east but several afternoon hours of more widespread rain, later easing. Some early showers from south Scotland to north Wales, largely fading with sun breaks; south Wales is dry and brighter. Strong wind widely, easing Wales and north Scotland.
Headline for Lake District
Strong wind; early showers largely fade, some sun glimpses
How windy? (On the summits)
West shifting northwesterly 30-35mph, sometimes reaching 40mph over tops, particularly early, and some variability throughout the day.
Effect of the wind on you?
Strenuous walking with wind chill all day, moments of more arduous walking in exposure when maintain stability will require notable effort on tops and ridges.
How Wet?
Light patchy rain, well-scattered
Patchy rain drifting across the fells from the northwest from time to time, more often not raining and amounting to little. Rain may be more frequent for a few early hours.
Cloud on the hills?
Lifting to tops with some breaks
May be fairly extensive in the morning above 700-800m, local lower bases in the west, particularly near Pillar, to 400-500m. Bases likely lifting towards summit level by afternoon, clear moments likely, but Scafell may only see briefly clearings, and some risk of more extensive banks coming and going later.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to 50%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Glimpses of sun, some sunnier periods on lower slopes, particularly east. Good visibility.
How Cold? (at 750m)
5 or 6C, rising to 8C. Feeling below freezing in strongest direct wind.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.

Any rain unlikely
Remote chance of odd spots of light rain on western fells, but the hills likely entirely dry.
Cloud on the hills?
Likely clearing all summits
May be fairly extensive above 700-800m at dawn, varied lower banks; clearest hills near Windermere to start. Bases lift through morning, the fells likely clear afternoon, an odd fleeting cap over Scafell.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to 90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Often sunny though weakened by high cloud. Very good visibility.
How Cold? (at 750m)

How windy? (On the summits)
Southerly 15-20mph, some chance of lower speeds, particularly early, but confidence is low.
Effect of the wind on you?
Probably fairly small.
How Wet?
Afternoon patchy rain
The morning is substantially dry, then patchy rain approaches from the southwest afternoon, falls generally light with continued dry windows. Later in the day, a risk of more extended falls.
Cloud on the hills?
Least cloud in the morning
Some patchy cloud at various heights in the morning, many fells probably start clear of cloud, and mostly dissipating as morning gets going. Through afternoon, a bank of cloud probably shrouds the tops, may lower more widely across high terrain.
Chance of cloud free summits?
80% lowering to 40%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mixed cloud and sun through morning, more often cloudy afternoon. Very good visibility.
How Cold? (at 750m)
9C rising to 11 or 12C.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Sunday will be a clearing day for most under a core of high pressure: early rain in Scottish Highlands easing, most cloud lifting off all hills except the north of Scotland, and good sunshine through weakened by high cloud. Temperature more widely mild, warm in Wales. Into next week, a mixed southwesterly pattern remains, windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west. Warmest in England and Wales, but may stay cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. Tuesday into Wednesday shows indications of a wetter and windier spell. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, but extensively settled weather remains elusive until at least the following week.
