A fine day on Black Fell: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1600 m) - clear summits. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 900-1200 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 1100-1400 m. Little or no rain expected.
A fine day on Black Fell: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 800-1100 m) - clear summits. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 900-1200 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 1100-1400 m. Little or no rain expected.
A fine day on Black Fell: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1100 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-23 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.
