How windy? (On the summits)
West-southwesterly, overnight gales ease, perhaps a brief drop to 25mph, but mostly in the range 30 to 40mph.

Generally blustery over the mountains, more challenging at times on exposed high terrain; increasingly marked wind chill.

Cloud on the hills?
Often capping high western tops
Varied cloud banks from dawn, but lifting toward upper slopes and clearing some high tops for a time inland, but patches often cap higher tops in Snowdon group and near coast, lowering again in showers.
Chance of cloud free summits?

Some sun breaking through occasionally in morning, often cloudy west. Visibility good as rain clears, but some haze in west, reduced further in showers.

Planning Outlook
Damp and mild southwesterly air moves across the country into Monday, winds strengthen again later to widely gale-force over the hills, heavier rain sweeps eastward overnight and into early Tuesday, followed by showers and a drop of temperature. Very unsettled west-southwesterlies continue into midweek - sustained mountain gales, possibly stormy at times and spells of heavy rain for all areas. A changeable westerly theme likely continues beyond mid-month - occasional windows of drier weather, but more often windy with rain or showers coming in from the Atlantic, sometimes cold enough to fall as snow on Scottish high tops.
