A mixed day on Beinn Mheadhoin: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (strong winds). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 700-1000 m in the morning, lifting to 1300-1600 m around midday and 1500-1800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 20-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
