A mixed day on Benvane: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud will be lowest on the NW slopes, down to about 1200-1500 m; the SE side should be clearer, lifting to around 1300-1600 m. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up.

Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 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 around midday into the evening.

Low confidence

A fine day on Benvane: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1500-1800 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 7 to 23 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.
