A mixed day on Grike: summit wind broadly 15-30 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 will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected.

Conditions can change quickly with height. Use the day-by-day summit detail below, then check again close to departure.
A mixed day on Grike: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). 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 Grike: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. 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. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 24-34 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.
A mixed day on Grike: 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 500-1100 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 800-1100 m. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 18-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
A mixed day on Grike: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 6 to 16 mph; check again nearer the time.
A fine day on Grike: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 300-1000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 12 to 36 mph; check again nearer the time. 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.
A mixed day on Grike: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 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 700-1200 m) - clear summits. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Low confidence (ensemble members are widely spread) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 16 to 45 mph; check again nearer the time. 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.
