How windy? (On the summits)
Southerly 15mph early, rising to 20-25mph, gusting 30mph over high tops, later gusts approaching 35-40mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Fairly small, but increasingly blustery, strenuous walking in exposure later with a notable wind chill.

Patchy rain, may set in
Occasional patchy rain from time to time, notably early, but often dry well into the day. Becoming more frequent, and risk setting in for several hours towards evening with heavy falls on south and west fells.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive
The fells shrouded to at least middle slopes through the morning hours, to lower slopes south and west fells. A rising trend with some breaks through afternoon to the northeast; high summits unlikely to clear. Returning extensively later.
Chance of cloud free summits?
20%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mostly cloudy, a few brighter moments afternoon to the north and east. Very good visibility where out of cloud, largely poor on high summits.
How Cold? (at 750m)
9 to 11C. Feeling near freezing in direct wind.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Through Monday, cloud will return from the southwest and bring some patchy rain with it. From Tuesday onward, a variable southwesterly will dominate through at least mid-week. Windy at times with periods of rain, drizzle and low cloud most persistent in the west; Tuesday into Wednesday is likely a wetter and unsettled period, with the unsettled weather lingering well into Wednesday in Scotland. 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. Pressure generally trending higher later in the week, centred southeast of England, but low pressure to the west of Ireland will prevent any extended settled periods with more windy, wet weather at times next weekend; temperatures likely become more widely warm.
