How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 25mph, some stronger gusts around higher tops and some edges.
Effect of the wind on you?
Blustery over the hills, making walking uncomfortable in places where exposed on higher terrain.
How Wet?
Intermittent rain
Patchy rain and drizzle, some showery moments occasionally; the most frequent rain generally western areas. Tending to clear later in day to odd light showers.
Cloud on the hills?
Most extensive in rain, lowest west
Covering higher moors during rain, to 400m or locally lower at times in westernmost areas in the morning. Tending to rise during afternoon, may lift from many hills, but risk lingering over west of Kinder and Bleaklow to 500m.
Chance of cloud free summits?
50%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Largely cloudy, some sun may break through later afternoon. Visibility good where dry, later very good, but hazier for periods in rain.
Temperature (at 600m)
12C rising to 15C afternoon. Feeling like 5C directly in wind.
And in the valleys
13C at dawn, rising to 19C afternoon.
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.
