A mixed day on Carnedd Dafydd: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1500-1800 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 18 to 34 mph; check again nearer the time. Treat the cloud base with caution - the models disagree on humidity, so it could be well above or below the figure given.
