A mixed day on Càrn a' Choire Bhòidheach: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 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 1000-1600 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. Cloud will be lowest on the NW slopes, down to about 1400-1700 m; the SE side should be clearer, lifting to around 1600-1900 m. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 0 to 4°C, feeling around -6 to -2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 27-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
