Summary for all mountain areas
Very warm and humid. Gale force southerly winds for NW Scotland at first will ease, but gusty winds strengthen elsewhere. As a front encroaches from the west across the Highlands, bursts of rain will merge into a swathe of more extensive heavy rain, possible thunder. Dry with sunshine for England and Wales, small risk local showers.

Windy, gusty. Warm; high cloud, rain mostly later, turning heavy west.
How windy? (On the Munros)
South to southwesterly 25 to 35mph, at times reaching 40-45mph around higher tops at least in gusts.
Effect of the wind on you?
Strenuous walking on higher terrain, buffeting gusts in places over high tops and through some passes.
How Wet?

Occasional spots from high cloud, chance of odd bursts of rain forming. Later afternoon into evening, heavier rain moving in from west, soonest central highlands, setting in here, chance of thundery bursts mixed in.
Cloud on the hills?
Low cloud in morning gradually clears
Low cloud may be fairly extensive in the morning, varied at different heights, most persistent central highlands. Tending to lift, thin and break up from many hills. Returning and lowering over hills as rain develops.
Chance of cloud free Munros?

Sunshine and air clarity?
Varied high cloud thickens to cover the sun increasingly. Misty in the morning, visibility improving to be very good below cloud; reducing later in rain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
12C where in cloud, up to 16C eastern areas; very humid. Likely to drop considerably into night, toward 7C.
