A mixed day on Creach Bheinn: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain.

Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up.
