A mixed day on Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in 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 500-1600 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Cloud-free timing: Around 50% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 400-3200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-25 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.
