A mixed day on Randygill Top: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the afternoon (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-3200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 26-36 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.
