Fountains Fell weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Fountains Fell: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph around midday (strong winds). Cloud base around 600-900 m in the morning, 1500-1800 m around midday and 1300-1600 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud; views may come and go. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern 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.

A fine day on Fountains Fell: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1200-3200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. 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.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 80% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Fountains Fell: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the morning (strong winds).

The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening.
