The day on the hill

Frequent summit cloud on Beinn Eunaich: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph at times (strong winds).

Wind & exposure

Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1000–1300 m around midday and 800–1100 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon.

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

Cloud may hang lower on northwestern slopes and lift somewhat on the southeastern side, but local terrain can differ. Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud.

Rain & temperature

The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Little or no rain is forecast.

Cold on exposed tops: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Keep windproof and warm layers readily available.

Buffeting may affect balance on exposed ground, particularly near ridges and edges. 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 10% early, improving to around 50% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 4.1 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.

Cloud may obscure this summit even while the surrounding model grid indicates sunshine. The low cloud-free summit estimate is a reason to be cautious about expecting views.

Full overnight outlook

Open-hillside camping looks promising overall around 600 m (75/100). A lower pitch near 300 m looks more comfortable. Conditions are less suitable by 900 m. Open-ground gusts may reach about 30 mph. Seek meaningful shelter. Peak gusts range from about 20 mph at 300 m to 30 mph at 900 m. Wind direction may change substantially during the night. Shelter that works at dusk may be less effective later. Around 1.9 mm is forecast, including rain around pack-up. Pitches near 900 m may spend part of the night in cloud, bringing damp conditions and poor visibility while cloud is present. The coldest temperature falls from about 7.2°C at 300 m to 5.5°C at 900 m.

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.

Generic exposed-rock guidance

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look very poor (0/100). Recent rain may leave seepage and damp rock, especially on shaded sections. The mapped summit rock is Quartz-monzodiorite (Monzodiorite Facies, Cruachan Intrusion). Generally grippy when dry and often still positive when damp, but wet slabs, lichen, polish and drainage lines can remain slippery. Representative samples along available mapped routes also include Andesite and basalt, Quartzite, so rock character and wet-weather behaviour may change across the mountain. Gusts may reach about 45 mph. Crosswinds can make exposed ridges substantially more serious. Cloud may also make route-finding and retreat harder.

The day on the hill

A wet day with extensive summit cloud on Beinn Eunaich: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph at times (a fresh breeze). Hill cloud may make navigation difficult, with very poor visibility in wetter spells.

Cloud & views

Cloud base mostly around 600–900 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 southwestern slopes and lift somewhat on the northeastern 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 16-35 mph at walker height, with gusts 22-49 mph.

Rain & temperature

The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Exposed tops may feel chilly in the wind.

A windproof layer will help, with an extra warm layer for stops. If clothing gets wet, you can cool more quickly.

Keep a dry warm layer protected. Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud, even where forecasts agree on the wider cloud cover.

Open-hillside camping looks mixed overall around 600 m (59/100). A lower pitch near 300 m looks more comfortable. Conditions are less suitable by 900 m. Open-ground gusts may reach about 35 mph. Seek meaningful shelter. Peak gusts range from about 25 mph at 300 m to 35 mph at 900 m. Around 2.5 mm is forecast, with rain liable to affect both pitching and packing up. Pitches near 900 m may spend part of the night in cloud, bringing damp conditions and poor visibility while cloud is present. Condensation risk is high near 300, 600 and 900 m.

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

Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud. Drizzle is forecast at times.

The forecast total is up to around 2 mm, but local amounts will vary. Cold on exposed tops: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind.

Forecast models differ on summit wind strength: around 17-26 mph at walker height, with gusts 24-37 mph.

Rain & temperature

The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Keep windproof and warm layers readily available.

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 10% early, improving to around 85% later.

Open-hillside camping looks promising overall around 600 m (83/100). A lower pitch near 300 m looks more comfortable. Conditions are less suitable by 900 m. It may be breezy on open ground, with gusts near 30 mph. Peak gusts range from about 20 mph at 300 m to 30 mph at 900 m. Wind direction may change substantially during the night. Shelter that works at dusk may be less effective later. Little overnight rain is forecast. Pitches near 900 m may spend part of the night in cloud, bringing damp conditions and poor visibility while cloud is present. The coldest temperature falls from about 5.7°C at 300 m to 2.9°C at 900 m.

Generic exposed-rock guidance

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look poor (23/100). Rain during the climbing period is likely to leave rock wet and more slippery. The mapped summit rock is Quartz-monzodiorite (Monzodiorite Facies, Cruachan Intrusion). Generally grippy when dry and often still positive when damp, but wet slabs, lichen, polish and drainage lines can remain slippery. Representative samples along available mapped routes also include Andesite and basalt, Quartzite, so rock character and wet-weather behaviour may change across the mountain. Gusts may reach about 30 mph. Crosswinds can make exposed ridges substantially more serious. Cloud may also make route-finding and retreat harder.

Buffeting may affect balance on exposed ground, particularly near ridges and edges. Overall confidence is unavailable: insufficient comparable wind, rain guidance.

Cloud-free timing: Around 55% early, falling to around 20% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 11 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.

Cloud may obscure this summit even while the surrounding model grid indicates sunshine. The low cloud-free summit estimate is a reason to be cautious about expecting views.

Exposed camping is not recommended near 300, 600 and 900 m: gusts may reach about 60 mph. Sustained winds may reach about 45 mph at times. Choose an alternative off the exposed hill. Do not rely on finding shelter after setting out. Open-hillside camping looks very poor overall around 600 m (9/100). Peak gusts range from about 40 mph at 300 m to 60 mph at 900 m. Roughly 21.5 mm is forecast overnight, with rain liable to affect both pitching and packing up. Pitches near 900 m may spend part of the night in cloud, bringing damp conditions and poor visibility while cloud is present. Condensation risk is high near 300, 600 and 900 m. Ventilation will matter. The coldest temperature falls from about 8.5°C at 300 m to 7°C at 900 m.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 3-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 6°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.

Generic exposed-rock guidance

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look very poor (19/100). Rain during the climbing period is likely to leave rock wet and more slippery. The mapped summit rock is Quartz-monzodiorite (Monzodiorite Facies, Cruachan Intrusion). Generally grippy when dry and often still positive when damp, but wet slabs, lichen, polish and drainage lines can remain slippery. Representative samples along available mapped routes also include Andesite and basalt, Quartzite, so rock character and wet-weather behaviour may change across the mountain. Gusts may reach about 35 mph. Crosswinds can make exposed ridges substantially more serious. Cloud may also make route-finding and retreat harder.

The day on the hill

A wet day with extensive summit cloud on Beinn Eunaich: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph at times (strong winds). Visibility may drop briefly in showers.

Things to watch

High spate risk through much of the day and into the night, with forecast rain and subsequent runoff. Risk may continue beyond the daytime period shown. Timings are approximate, not a guarantee of safe crossings afterwards. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Turn back if a crossing looks unsafe.

Wind & exposure

Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 600–900 m through the morning, lifting to 1100–1400 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening.

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

Cloud may hang lower on southwestern slopes and lift somewhat on the northeastern side, but local terrain can differ. Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud.

Drizzle is forecast for much of the day, with some passing showers too. The forecast total is around 5-10 mm, but local amounts will vary.

Cold on exposed tops: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind. Forecast models differ on summit wind strength.

Treat the wind figures as a guide.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Keep windproof and warm layers readily available.

If clothing gets wet, you can cool more quickly. Keep a dry warm layer protected.

Buffeting may affect balance on exposed ground, particularly near ridges and edges. Overall confidence is unavailable: insufficient comparable wind, rain guidance.

Cloud-free timing: Around 15% early, improving to around 70% later.
