Southeastern Highlands
The southern Highlands as far west as the Callander area and north to Loch Ericht, Drumochter and summits near Glenshee ski-centre (summits within the historic county of Perthshire). Also Ochils and Angus hills.
Sunday's Forecast
Windy, walking impeded
Blustery conditions enough to give buffeting on higher terrain or affect balance on exposed ridges. 25 to 40mph.
Frequent or persistent rain
Steady rain fairly persistent, occasionally heavy, rather wet underfoot.
Poor visibility
Murky conditions with areas of fog shrouding the hills, making navigation challenging. Map and compass essential.
Cool to mild
Air temperature 5 to 10C on higher terrain. Comfortable temperatures on lower terrain, but feeling chilly if exposed to wind higher up, especially if stationary. Pack extra layers.

Summary for all mountain areas
A swathe of rain advances eastwards across all regions during the day, heaviest over south-facing hill groups, patchier northwards across the Highlands, breaking up with time in the west, leaving a few showers, rising cloud bases. Windy, up to gale force high tops, most sustained in Wales.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Strongest winds easing afternoon. Widely wet with low cloud.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Southwesterly 35mph, soon rising from the west to a gusty 40-45mph over tops for a few hours morning into middle of day. Speeds tending to lower in afternoon from the west to 25mph.
Effect of the wind on you?
Walking arduous with considerable buffeting and wind chill. Stability challenging in exposure for a few hours, lessening afternoon.
How Wet?
Persistent rain spreads east, heavy for a time, fading afternoon
Patchy rain west of the A9 at dawn soon persistent, extending eastward to all areas during the morning, heaviest falls for a few hours in central highlands. Rain then breaking up from west during afternoon, leaving patchy showery rain.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive
Cloud shrouds nearly all mountains from 600m upward most of the day, lowest persistent cloud during rain, may then start to lift a little during afternoon from west, late in day breaks possibly above 800m.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
Less than 10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Widely overcast. Visibility largely poor in fog and rain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
5 or 6C, tending to lower a little later in the day. Feeling like -3 to -5C in direct wind.

Likely small
How Wet?
Morning rain largely clears
Detail uncertain: raining broadly from dawn breaking into showery rain and slowly clearing north. Odd showers follow; may be drier sooner.
Cloud on the hills?
Lifting and breaking, though high tops in fog
Most high terrain shrouded from dawn with banks down to 700m or lower towards eastern lowlands. Cloud trending more broken with higher bases though tops may struggle to clear, especially near the lowlands.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast at first, gradually breaking into occasional bursts of sunshine and excellent visibility - some haze near the Central Belt.
How Cold? (at 900m)

How windy? (On the Munros)
South or southeasterly, speed may vary, likely to strengthen during daytime, 20 to 35mph, gusty; risk stronger later.
Effect of the wind on you?
Expect increasingly blustery conditions, starting to affect comfortable walking, gusty in places, locally downslope toward north.
How Wet?
Increasingly heavy rain
Rain spreading in from the south, may be soon fairly persistent, particularly central highlands to Ochils, but becoming widespread, risk heavier falls setting in.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive, lowering
Any early breaks short-lived, banks of cloud already likely covering most hills. Lowering to extensively blanket the hills from lower elevations upward, particularly more southern slopes.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast increasingly murky with poor visibility widely in rain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
3C rising into afternoon to 5C, then from dusk 7C; only small fall with height. Feeling like -5C directly in the wind.
Freezing Level
Close to highest summits overnight, but by dawn well above the tops.
Planning Outlook
A cloudy and wet week ahead as several low pressure cores draw frontal systems across the British Isles. Rain at times extensive and heavy, streams in spate with a risk of flooding, primarily western mountains. Winds start fairly light but soon increase with gales becoming widespread by Tuesday, which may persist for several days. Temperatures remain mild until later in the week when cold air begins pushing into northern Scotland - timing and extent of the arrival of cold air remains uncertain but high terrain of Scotland and possibly northern England may start to see more snow around or after next weekend.
