Spate watch

Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Assess them at the water and turn back if unsure.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 67% later.

A wild day on Clisham: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 12:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 800-1100 m through daylight. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Clisham: summit wind broadly 40-55 mph, with gusts 65-75 mph during the evening (storm-force winds). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 04:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 25-35 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 500-800 m through daylight. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 40-61 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
