How windy? (On the Munros)
West-southwesterly, overnight gales ease for a brief early lull to 25mph or less, but rise again during daytime to 40-50mph+.
Effect of the wind on you?
A window of fairly small effects, but beware of deteriorating again from the west as the day goes on to become challenging.
How Wet?
Early rain, then showers
Heavy rain up to dawn likely soon clears away eastwards, leaving a brief drier window, but showers soon follow from the west, these increasingly frequent and heavy with hail, more extensive afternoon.
Cloud on the hills?
Breaks best in east when dry
Varied cloud banks from dawn, but for a few hours then breaking well toward upper slopes with clearer spells mainly east of A9. Patches more common central tops, filling in more widely again in showers.
Chance of cloud free Munros?
40%
Sunshine and air clarity?
Occasional sun best in east in morning, then cloudier again from west. Visibility very good as rain clears, then reducing around showers, locally poor.
How Cold? (at 900m)
Mild 10C overnight but dropping to 7C by dawn, lowering further during day to 3C. Feeling later like -10C as wind increases.
Freezing Level
Above the summits, but may drop close to highest tops later in day.
Planning Outlook
Damp and mild southwesterly air moves across the country into Monday, winds strengthen again later to widely gale-force over the hills, heavier rain sweeps eastward overnight and into early Tuesday, followed by showers and a drop of temperature. Very unsettled west-southwesterlies continue into midweek - sustained mountain gales, possibly stormy at times and spells of heavy rain for all areas. A changeable westerly theme likely continues beyond mid-month - occasional windows of drier weather, but more often windy with rain or showers coming in from the Atlantic, sometimes cold enough to fall as snow on Scottish high tops.
