Light wind, negligible impact
Little wind or walking hardly affected by the wind, but feeling chilly if exposed on tops. 10-15mph or less.
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.
Poor visibility
Murky conditions with areas of fog shrouding the hills, making navigation challenging. Map and compass essential.
Chilly
Air temperature typically 0 to 5C on higher summits. Feeling distinctly chilly on tops when stationary or where exposed to wind. Take appropriate layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
Fairly light wind and scattered patches of light rain, amounting to little in total. Cloud base will vary, extensive on higher mountains, but lower down some slopes cloud free, whilst sometimes adjacent slopes remain foggy (or even between cloud layers) - with changes occurring only slowly.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
A little rain. Extensive fog.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Easterly, 10 to 15mph (strongest near central belt). Will tend to ease through day.
Effect of the wind on you?

Rain now and again, chiefly Angus.
Damp with pockets of rain, sometimes very light rain. The rain may be on and off most of the day manly east from about Glenshee - but total rainfall small.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive, particularly more eastern hills
In places Monadhliath, and extensively east and southern Cairngorms NP, areas of fog will 'hang' on lower slopes most or all day, whilst others are largely cloud free. Higher up, almost all slopes above 600 to locally 800m persistently foggy.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Cloudy or dull. The air generally very clear, though misty in rain and fog reaching some lower slopes.
How Cold? (at 900m)

Planning Outlook
High pressure will continue to be the main influence into next week, particularly W & NW Highlands where extensively dry and wind often light. However, disappointing for other areas as 'gloomy' conditions predominate" patches of light rain and extensive low cloud and fog. Into next week, an area of low pressure will bring rain and wind in from the southwest but northern Scotland may escape most or all the rain.
