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.
Snow flurries
Occasional light snow flurries, sleet or rain lower elevations. Amounts little more than nuisance value, but locally more persistent and reducing visibility for periods.
Hazy, some fog banks

Distant views reduced by haze, locally foggy for a time in valleys and some hill slopes.
Cold
Air temperature below 0C all day on higher mountains. Significant chill factor if exposed to strong winds. Suitable protective clothing required.

Summary for all mountain areas
Rain and increasingly snow over Scottish mountains as colder air moves in. Drier and higher cloud bases toward southwest Highlands. Rain affects northern England and Wales with some persistent and locally heavier falls, becoming snow on hills into evening. Wind speed and direction will vary in all areas.
Headline for Southeastern Highlands
Rain then mostly snow on and off, varying cloud.
How windy? (On the Munros)
Around or just before dawn southwesterly 30-40mph, but soon lower speeds and switching northerly 20 to 30mph, rare gusts toward 40mph on highest summits.
Effect of the wind on you?
Varying, starting to affect comfortable walking at times over high terrain, some more challenging moments possible. Significant wind chill.
How Wet?
Patchy rain then snow
Occasional rain from dawn into morning, sleet or snow above 900m then increasingly snow falling toward lower elevations, sleet or rain only into glens by noon; mostly patchy and light falls, fading out to be dry at times.
Cloud on the hills?
Covering most tops, may improve
Shrouding the mountains fairly widely in the morning, and in eastern areas much of the day, banks extensive above 900-1000m, sometimes lower in precipitation. Some breaks emerge from west afternoon.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
30%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast, some brighter skies may develop central highlands afternoon. Visibility poor in rain/snow, becoming good for periods below cloud.
How Cold? (at 900m)
+2C up to dawn, dropping quickly in morning below 0C, by noon -2C. Feeling like -10 to -15C directly in the wind on higher mountains.
Freezing Level
Up to dawn 1200m or above, but lowering rapidly in morning to 600m, then slightly falling further to 400-500m afternoon.

Cloud on the hills?
Mostly very little
Some patchy cloud around higher slopes in the morning, mostly areas east of the A9, but all likely to break up leaving most mountains clear middle of day onward.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
70% rising above 90%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Generally sunny, some patchy cloud mostly east from Glenshee in morning. Visibility excellent.

How windy? (On the Munros)
Easterly 40 to 50mph, in places risk 60mph and very gusty around high mountains; may lessen substantially with time.
Effect of the wind on you?
Challenging to possibly difficult conditions at least part of the day, buffeting gusts to lower slopes and significant wind chill.
How Wet?
Risk of persistent hill snow
High uncertainty about extent of precipitation: Risk of persistent snowfalls extensively over the mountains throughout the day, sleet or rain lower elevations.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive
Shrouding the mountains widely from lower elevations upward much of the region most likely all day.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
10%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Overcast and dull. Visibility mostly poor, appalling if in snow and cloud on high terrain.
How Cold? (at 900m)
-1 or -2C, may lift to around 0C. Feeling like -15C or possibly colder in exposure to stronger wind.
Freezing Level
500-700m, lowest if precipitation continues, but tending to rise a little into the afternoon.
Planning Outlook
Cold with higher terrain frequently or almost permanently frozen most or all next week particularly in Scotland. Meanwhile Wales and northern England will see one or two incursions of much warmer air together with areas of persistent rain and intermittent hill snow. Less precipitation generally northward across Scotland, but marked exceptions: here too, where the frequently northerly wind rises over mountains (with the sea directly to the north), accumulations of snow may well be considerable.
