A fine day on Murton Fell: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-3200 m) - clear summits. 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 18-25 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.
