The day on the hill

Frequent summit cloud on Carnedd y Filiast: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph at times (a moderate breeze).

Cloud & views

Cloud base mostly around 600–900 m through daylight. Summit cloud is likely, but brief clear spells remain possible if the cloud sits higher than expected.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Any sunshine may be confined to lower ground or breaks away from the summit.

Rain & temperature

The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Little or no rain is forecast.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud, even where forecasts agree on the wider cloud cover.

Cloud-free timing: Around 45% early, falling to around 35% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 5.9 h of sunshine. This is not a forecast of time in sunshine on the summit. Use the cloud and views outlook above for the conditions on this mountain.

Cloud may obscure this summit even while the surrounding model grid indicates sunshine. The low cloud-free summit estimate is a reason to be cautious about expecting views.

Conditions for exposed scrambling look mixed (58/100). Recent rain may leave seepage and damp rock, especially on shaded sections. The mapped summit rock is Gritstone (Carnedd Y Filiast Grit Member). Usually rough and grippy when dry. Damp sandstone and gritstone can feel greasy, and saturated sandstone may be weakened, so let the rock dry fully. Cloud may also make route-finding and retreat harder.

The day on the hill

On Carnedd y Filiast: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph at times (strong winds). Hill cloud may make navigation difficult, with very poor visibility in wetter spells.

Things to watch

High spate risk from the morning into the afternoon, with forecast rain and subsequent runoff. Timings are approximate, not a guarantee of safe crossings afterwards. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Turn back if a crossing looks unsafe.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 600–900 m through the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Cloud may hang lower on northwestern slopes and lift somewhat on the southeastern side, but local terrain can differ. Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud.

Rain & temperature

Rain is likely to include a heavy spell, with around 10-20 mm expected over the assessed day. Cold on exposed tops: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind.

Forecast models differ on summit wind strength: around 20-35 mph at walker height, with gusts 29-49 mph.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. A windproof layer will help, with an extra warm layer for stops.

If clothing gets wet, you can cool more quickly. Keep a dry warm layer protected.

Buffeting may affect balance on exposed ground, particularly near ridges and edges. Forecast models differ on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during the morning.

Cloud-free timing: Around 25% early, improving to around 80% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 5.4 h of sunshine. This is not a forecast of time in sunshine on the summit. Use the cloud and views outlook above for the conditions on this mountain.

On Carnedd y Filiast: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph at times (strong winds).

Wind & exposure

Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 1600–1900 m in the morning, then around 2100–2400 m around midday and 1600–1900 m by late afternoon. The summit is likely to stay mostly clear.

Rain & temperature

The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Little or no rain is forecast.

Forecast models differ on summit wind strength: around 19-32 mph at walker height, with gusts 27-45 mph.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Exposed tops may feel chilly in the wind.

A windproof layer will help, with an extra warm layer for stops. Buffeting may affect balance on exposed ground, particularly near ridges and edges.

A wet day with extensive summit cloud on Carnedd y Filiast: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph at times (a fresh breeze).

Cloud & views

Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Summit cloud is likely, but brief clear spells remain possible if the cloud sits higher than expected.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Cloud may hang lower on western slopes and lift somewhat on the eastern side, but local terrain can differ. Any sunshine may be confined to lower ground or breaks away from the summit.

Rain & temperature

Rain and drizzle are forecast for much of the day. The forecast total is around 10-20 mm, but local amounts will vary.

Forecast models differ on summit wind strength: around 14-29 mph at walker height, with gusts 19-40 mph.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Exposed tops may feel chilly in the wind.

A windproof layer will help, with an extra warm layer for stops. If clothing gets wet, you can cool more quickly.

Keep a dry warm layer protected. Forecast models differ on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during the morning.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 6.3 h of sunshine. This is not a forecast of time in sunshine on the summit. Use the cloud and views outlook above for the conditions on this mountain.

Cloud may obscure this summit even while the surrounding model grid indicates sunshine. The low cloud-free summit estimate is a reason to be cautious about expecting views.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 3-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 4°C. Allow more margin if you sleep cold or expect fatigue, and use an adequate insulated mat. Dampness is possible, so keep the sleep system dry and ensure its insulation remains effective if damp.

Generic exposed-rock guidance

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look very poor (2/100). Rain during the climbing period is likely to leave rock wet and more slippery. The mapped summit rock is Gritstone (Carnedd Y Filiast Grit Member). Usually rough and grippy when dry. Damp sandstone and gritstone can feel greasy, and saturated sandstone may be weakened, so let the rock dry fully. Cloud may also make route-finding and retreat harder.

The day on the hill

On Carnedd y Filiast: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph at times (a fresh breeze). Patchy mist is possible in sheltered valleys early on.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 1300–1600 m in the morning, then around 1400–1700 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from early morning into around midday.

Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Cloud may hang lower on southern slopes and lift somewhat on the northern side, but local terrain can differ. Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud.

Rain & temperature

Little or no rain is forecast. Forecast models differ on summit wind strength.
