A mixed day on Cam Chreag: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 800-1600 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the evening. 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 NW slopes, down to about 1000-1300 m; the SE side should be clearer, lifting to around 1100-1400 m. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up.

A rough, clagged-in day on Cam Chreag: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-800 m - expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud will be lowest on the S slopes, down to about 400-700 m; the N side should be clearer, lifting to around 800-1100 m.

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.
