Rain affects all areas during the day, some heavy falls widely, most constant in Wales. Low cloud across the hills, blanketing to lower slopes in west coastal areas. South-southwest winds, varied in Scotland, but stronger England and particularly Wales, here gales over tops. Fairly mild air, but feeling cooler in wind.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Breezy over tops. Rain on and off, heavier at times, low cloud.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southerly, 15 to 25mph, tending to increase in morning, up to 30mph high tops for a time, then lessening a little from southwest during afternoon.
Effect of the wind on you?
Some variation during day, at times fairly small, but gustier spots affecting comfortable walking for a few hours on exposed high ridges and tops.
How Wet?

Spots of light rain patchy at dawn, but soon develops into fairly frequent rain widely, steadier rain at times, some heavier, risk often raining central highlands much of the day. Intermittently drier east of A9, but expect rain on and off.
Cloud on the hills?
Soon extensive and low across hills
Variable banks at first, local breaks mostly northeast of Pitlochry, but cloud soon lowering fairly extensively covering hills above 500-700m, lowest on southern aspects.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
Dropping in morning to 10%
Sunshine and air clarity?

Planning Outlook
An unsettled spell through early June, possibly through the first two weeks, as low pressure over the north Atlantic and southwesterly winds dominate. Periods of rain mixed with showery days widely - the most constant rain over western mountains with low cloud often shrouding the hills. Wind speed will vary, but up to gale-force for periods over the hills, mostly in Scotland by later this week. Higher pressure to the south tends to expand across and just east of Britain later in the week, bringing some drier weather, but western hills even in England and Wales may remain often misty and drizzly. Temperatures near average, cooler at times. Mid June onward shows signs of drier and warmer weather.
