A mixed day on Beinn Bhan: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-1100 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 700-1000 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 800-1100 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 -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up.
