Northerly 10 to 25mph, speed tending to rise during the daytime.

Effect of the wind on you?

Fairly small, but becoming more noticeable and distinctly chilly over high terrain.

Substantially dry, but as the day goes on, a risk of a little rain, snow on tops increasingly to 700m, moving in from the north, mostly just patchy showers.

Cloud on the hills?

Occasional patches

Many mountains often free of cloud. Some patches may drift around higher slopes from time to time.

Chance of cloud free Munros?

80%

Sunshine and air clarity?

Mostly sunny, a little patchy cloud. Visibility excellent.

How Cold? (at 900m)

0 or +1C. Feeling like -5 to -8C as wind increases.

900-1050m, tending to lower slightly during day. Also frost many glens in morning.

Planning Outlook

Generally dry much of the week ahead in Scotland. Some variable cloud and fog early in the week. A gusty easterly wind for England & Wales and rain pushes into Wales on Tuesday, reaching the south Pennines with time, persisting into Wednesday in these areas, but very little extending further north. Into the second half of the week, a switch to a colder northerly flow will likely drop the freezing level to 800m increasingly widely for Thursday-Friday, plus frost on low ground. Some snow showers on northern Scottish mountains, but largely dry weather elsewhere. During next weekend, a shift to a less cold Atlantic influence - a changeable mix likely into the following week.
