The day on the hill

Little rain and limited summit cloud on Bache Hill: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph at times (a moderate breeze).

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, lifting to 1400–1700 m around midday. The summit is likely to stay mostly clear.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Rain & temperature

Little or no rain is forecast.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud, even where forecasts agree on the wider cloud cover.

Cloud-free timing: Around 50% early, improving to around 95% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 8.1 h of sunshine. This is not a forecast of time in sunshine on the summit. Use the cloud and views outlook above for the conditions on this mountain.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 3-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 4°C. Allow more margin if you sleep cold or expect fatigue, and use an adequate insulated mat. Dampness is possible, so keep the sleep system dry and ensure its insulation remains effective if damp.

Open-hillside reference. A sheltered pitch may be calmer; cols and ridges may be much windier. Tent design and the exact pitch still matter. Read about sleeping-bag comfort ratings, pitching in strong winds or using the wild-camping forecast.

Conditions for exposed scrambling look excellent (94/100). Rock is likely to be mostly dry, though seepage and shaded holds are not resolved. The mapped summit rock is Argillaceous rock (Ludlow Rocks (Undifferentiated)). Often positive when dry, but smooth, polished or slabby sections can become markedly more slippery when damp.

The day on the hill

Light rain for several hours on Bache Hill: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph at times (a moderate breeze).

Things to watch

Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops.

If a thunderstorm develops, sudden gusts and heavy rain can change conditions quickly.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 600–900 m through the morning, lifting to 1000–1300 m by late afternoon. The summit is likely to stay mostly clear.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Drizzle is forecast for much of the day, with some passing showers too. The forecast total is up to around 2 mm, but local amounts will vary.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 2-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 8°C. Allow more margin if you sleep cold or expect fatigue, and use an adequate insulated mat. Dampness is possible, so keep the sleep system dry and ensure its insulation remains effective if damp.

Open-hillside reference. A sheltered pitch may be calmer; cols and ridges may be much windier. Tent design and the exact pitch still matter. Read about sleeping-bag comfort ratings, pitching in strong winds or using the wild-camping forecast.

Conditions for exposed scrambling look excellent (95/100). Rock is likely to be mostly dry, though seepage and shaded holds are not resolved. The mapped summit rock is Argillaceous rock (Ludlow Rocks (Undifferentiated)). Often positive when dry, but smooth, polished or slabby sections can become markedly more slippery when damp.

The day on the hill

A wet day with extensive summit cloud on Bache Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph at times (a moderate breeze).

Cloud & views

Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Summit cloud is likely, but brief clear spells remain possible if the cloud sits higher than expected.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Cloud may hang lower on western slopes and lift somewhat on the eastern side, but local terrain can differ. Very little direct sunshine is likely, with extensive cloud.

Drizzle is forecast for much of the day. The forecast total is around 2-5 mm, but local amounts will vary.

Forecast models differ on summit wind strength: around 14-26 mph at walker height, with gusts 20-36 mph.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Summit wind could be roughly 14-26 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

Frequent summit cloud on Bache Hill: summit wind broadly 0-15 mph, with gusts 5-15 mph at times (light winds).

Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Summit cloud is likely, but brief clear spells remain possible if the cloud sits higher than expected.

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Overall confidence is unavailable: insufficient comparable wind, rain guidance.

Around 1.4 mm is forecast, including rain around pack-up. Pitches near 600 m may spend part of the night in cloud, bringing damp conditions and poor visibility while cloud is present.
