Early cloud clears the fells
Variable banks of cloud above 600m at dawn, ragged lower patches here and there, and possibly more extensive low banks north and west. Cloud lifts after sunrise to clear the fells; Cross Fell may be slower to clear.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Rising to above 90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mostly sunny, some high cloud around weakening sunshine, and some thicker patchy cloud here and there, notably early and later. Very good visibility.

How windy? (On the summits)
Southwesterly 15mph early, gradually rising, finishing 25-30mph, some stronger breezes over high tops.
Effect of the wind on you?
Fairly small, but increasingly blustery, ease of walking widely impacted later with a chilly feeling.
How Wet?
Substantially dry until later
A few patches of light rain drift over the fells from time to time, notably early, but probably dry well into the day, then a risk of more frequent rain, may set in for several hours towards evening.
Cloud on the hills?
High terrain stays shrouded
Extensive to at least middle slopes from dawn, to the lower slopes near and south of Tebay. A rising tendency towards 700m, some fleeing higher breaks possible midday/afternoon, but returning more extensively later.
Chance of cloud free summits?
30%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Mostly cloudy, a few brighter moments afternoon. Very good visibility where out of cloud.
How Cold? (at 700m)
10C rising to 12 or 13C, some variability afternoon. Feeling like 5C in strongest direct wind.
And in the valleys
9C at dawn, rising to 16C, or milder east Yorks Dales.
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.
