Summary for all mountain areas
A largely dry day for the Highlands, light winds inland and north, some sun, but a layer of cloud increasingly covers the sky from the south, later some rain moving into coastal areas. A little rain for northern England and Wales, locally risk of a heavier burst of rain forming. Gusty southerly winds particularly Wales.
Headline for Lake District
Breeze increasing. Some patchy rain, fells mostly clear.
How windy? (On the summits)
Southeasterly 10mph or less at dawn, gradually strengthening, reaching 20-25mph afternoon-evening, gusty toward west and southwest fells, reaching 30mph from sunset.
Effect of the wind on you?
Small most of the day, but an inconvenient breeze developing in exposure later.
How Wet?
Patchy rain later
The morning is dry, then patchy rain approaching from the southwest afternoon, falls light with continued dry windows. Falls becoming more frequent late in the day, odd heavier moments possible.
Cloud on the hills?
Little or none until later
Some ragged cloud at various heights in the morning, soon dissipating for clear fells well into the day. A rising risk of cloud banks forming over the tops through later afternoon into evening, mainly southern areas.
Chance of cloud free summits?
90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sun and high cloud in morning, becoming more overcast afternoon. Very good visibility, hazier if rain occurs.
How Cold? (at 750m)

How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 25 to 30mph, some stronger gusts around higher fells and some eastern downslopes.
Effect of the wind on you?
Blustery over the fells, strenuous walking in exposure on higher slopes, starting to affect balance on some ridges.
How Wet?
Rain may persist, then fading
A mix of rain, drizzle and some showery moments; the most frequent rain typically south and southwest Lakes, risk persistently wet over several hours. Tending to fade through afternoon.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive, but may lift north/east
Blanket cloud across the fells around rain, from lower slopes upward in south and west - base rising, but here may persist over tops all day. Mostly above 500-600m toward north/east, and some breaks form higher during afternoon.
Chance of cloud free summits?
20%, rising to 40% north/east
Sunshine and air clarity?
Largely cloudy, some sun may break through afternoon mainly north/east. Hazy or misty around rain, then visibility improves in afternoon to be very good.
How Cold? (at 750m)
10C, little change all day. Feeling near to freezing directly in wind.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
A variable southwesterly will dominate through mid to late this week - windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west. Pressure generally trending higher from the south by the weekend, though into Saturday at least a damp westerly likely prevails into western Scotland. Warmest in England and Wales, but cooler in Scotland as low pressure to the northwest recycles air from the north Atlantic back onto the Munros. A window of drier and warmer weather is favoured into early the following week (22nd June), though a mixed Atlantic pattern may linger near to northwest Scotland in the longer range.
