Southeasterly 25 to 40mph, gusts to 50mph, in places toward some lower elevations.

Varied, may be little away from rain
Possible cloud banks, risk more extensive for a time; then most cloud above the hills for many hours. Later if rain develops, banks of cloud filling in across the hills, in places to some lower slopes.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
70%

Weak sun and high cloud layers, becoming mainly overcast. Increasingly hazy.

Planning Outlook
Much warmer and feeling humid as winds shift southerly through Wednesday. Low pressure to the west and a front pushing in brings a risk of thunderstorms on Thursday, soonest in Wales, advancing northeastwards over England and Scotland likely afternoon into evening - some uncertainty of timing. Low pressure is likely to linger later week into weekend - initially staying warm and humid, bringing an ongoing risk of thundery downpours, mixed with sunnier spells. Likely cooler and windier with time over the weekend. Southwesterlies then prevailing with rain at times, most over western mountains into early next week, but a trend toward higher pressure building from the south with drier conditions emerging.
