Summary for all mountain areas

Strong to gale force winds across Scottish mountains in the morning, becoming confined to the northwest. Rain in the W/NW Highlands from dawn will fade and pull away northwards. Low cloud and patchy drizzle continues to affect many western hills of Britain, but some breaks tending to form, best toward eastern hills.

Headline for Southeastern Highlands

Windy, gales for a time tops. Cloud breaking, mainly dry.

How windy? (On the Munros)

Southwesterly 25 to 35mph, risk 40mph for a few hours in morning.

Effect of wind on you?

Walking fairly arduous at times across the hills, especially in the morning. Strongest winds not necessarily on higher tops.

How Wet? (Precipitation and its impact)

Little or no rain

Patches of drizzly rain locally west of the A9 in the morning, but amounts small and tending to fade, leaving most of the day dry across the region.

Cloud on the hills?

Fairly extensive morning; breaks forming through day.

Cloud will be fairly extensively across higher slopes above 700-900m during morning, perhaps lower at first in Perthshire. Bases will tend to rise, with many summits clearing middle of day into afternoon; slowest to clear western areas.

Chance of cloud free Munros?

30% rising to 70% afternoon.

Sunshine?
Air clarity (below cloud)

Glimpses of sun, mostly in the east. Visibility often very good.

How Cold? (at 900m)

9 rising to 12C, perhaps slightly higher east from Glenshee in afternoon.

Freezing Level
