Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 83% later.
A mixed day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 15-35 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. Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday and 1500-1800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up.
