A mixed day on Brae Fell: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 800-1100 m) - clear summits. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 800-1100 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected.

A wild day on Brae Fell: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 27-39 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.

A mixed day on Brae Fell: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-800 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. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 400-700 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 600-900 m. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 23-39 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
