A fine day on Fellbarrow: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 600-1100 m) - clear summits. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected.
A mixed day on Fellbarrow: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph around midday (strong winds). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1100 m) - clear summits. Cloud will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-31 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.
