Medium confidence
Wind30 mph W Gusts42 mph Feels-3°C Rain1.3 mm Cloud base898 m Freezing level1,850 m

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Klibreck: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (gale-force 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 midday into the afternoon. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 800-1100 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 1000-1300 m. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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 24-34 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A rough, clagged-in day on Ben Klibreck: summit wind broadly 45-60 mph, with gusts 70-80 mph during the evening (storm-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-800 m - expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of the day, with no dependable break. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 300-600 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 800-1100 m. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°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 41-60 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A rough, clagged-in day on Ben Klibreck: summit wind broadly 45-60 mph, with gusts 75-85 mph early in the morning (storm-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 400-700 m - expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of the day, with no dependable break. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 300-600 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 700-1000 m. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 46-65 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.

Wind41 mph W Gusts58 mph Feels-0°C Rain2.1 mm Cloud base960 m Freezing level10,000 m

A wild day on Ben Klibreck: summit wind broadly 30-45 mph, with gusts 55-65 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 400-1500 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. The cloud base is very changeable today - it could sit much higher or lower than that at times, so read the sky. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 800-1100 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 1100-1400 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. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 33-57 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
