The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud; views may come and go. 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 2 to 6°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up.

A rough, clagged-in day on Leathad an Taobhain: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 700-1000 m through daylight. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 27-44 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Leathad an Taobhain: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 1000-1300 m around midday and 1500-1800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud; views may come and go.
