High confidence
Wind11 mph NW Gusts15 mph Feels12°C Rain0.2 mm Cloud base1,106 m Freezing level2,900 m

A fine day on Carn Brea: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the morning (a moderate breeze). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1000-1600 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Medium confidence
Wind8 mph W Gusts11 mph Feels11°C Rain0.0 mm Cloud base1,093 m Freezing level3,590 m

A fine day on Carn Brea: summit wind broadly 0-15 mph, with gusts 5-15 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1000-1600 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 6-10 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.
