Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive, slowly breaking
Varied cloud banks from lower slopes upward in the morning, some higher slopes may be briefly near the cloud tops, but soon drifting higher to shroud summits. Breaks forming, but patches likely come and go on tops, and beginning to fill in again late in the day east.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
30% rising to 60% afternoon.
Sunshine and air clarity?
Fairly cloudy, breaking up a little to give some sun, thin high cloud. Visibility very good below cloud, but some hills mistier for several hours.

How windy? (On the Munros)
Easterly, some variability, 20-30mph, quite gusty early, and lessening to 10-15mph with time.
Effect of the wind on you?
Buffeting gusts in the morning will inconvenience walking, locally more strenuous, but easing to small effects.

Patchy rain
Patchy rain drifts from the east from time-to-time, driest hills towards central highlands. Patches will increase in frequency and intensity, and may set in for extended falls later.
Cloud on the hills?
Fairly extensive
Most slopes shrouded at dawn, cloud into glens towards the east. Bases soon lift, best chance of breaks to summits west of A9, but rarely above 1000m, and more extensively low to the east where rarely above 700-800m. May return more extensively later.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
30%
Sunshine and air clarity?
A few sunny glimpses west with good visibility, but often overcast, poor visibility on most high terrain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
10 to 12C.
Freezing Level
Above the summits.
Planning Outlook
Low pressure to the south will develop and drift across Britain into the second half of this week bringing increasingly wet, warm, and humid conditions widely. Areas of rain will drift northward during Wednesday, possibly thundery showers forming over England & Wales. Heavy and thundery rain likely affects England, Wales & southern Scotland on Thursday-Friday, potentially prolonged heavy falls bringing a risk of flooding locally. Northwest Scotland likely driest. The eastern Highlands often covered in low cloud. Strong gusty easterly winds prevail for a few days through midweek. Into the weekend it remains unsettled with areas of rain and heavy showers, plus cooler northwesterly winds developing.
