A rough, clagged-in day on Beinn Bhan: summit wind broadly 20-45 mph, with gusts 50-60 mph early in the morning (storm-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-1000 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the afternoon. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 600-900 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 29 to 53 mph; check again nearer the time.

A mixed day on Beinn Bhan: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Cloud base 500-1300 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. The cloud base is very changeable today - it could sit much higher or lower than that at times, so read the sky. Little or no rain expected. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 7 to 18 mph; check again nearer the time. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - the models are only moderately agreed, so it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way.
