Scafell Pike weather forecast.

Forecast confidence: Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud.

Cloud-free timing: Around 25% early, improving to around 35% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph around midday (gale-force winds). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Cloud base around 900–1200 m through the morning, lowering to 700–1000 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Sunshine is likely to be limited to about 2 hours through breaks in the cloud. 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. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - walker-height summit wind could reasonably be 32-37 mph, with gusts 45-53 mph. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way, especially where it is close to summit level.

Forecast confidence: Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud.

Cloud-free timing: Around 30% early, improving to around 40% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. Cloud base mostly around 900–1200 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. about 3 hours of sunshine is indicated, with variable cloud giving brighter and duller spells. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - walker-height summit wind could reasonably be 23-27 mph, with gusts 32-38 mph. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way, especially where it is close to summit level.

Forecast confidence: Forecast models differ on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during the main walking period.

A rough, clagged-in day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 25-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the afternoon (gale-force winds). The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 07:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. about 7 hours of sunshine is indicated, with variable cloud giving brighter and duller spells. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - walker-height summit wind could reasonably be 28-36 mph, with gusts 39-51 mph. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way, especially where it is close to summit level.

Cloud-free timing: Around 25% early, improving to around 55% later.

A mixed day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 700–1000 m around midday and 1400–1700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. about 10 hours of sunshine is indicated, with variable cloud giving brighter and duller spells. 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.

Forecast confidence: Forecast models differ on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during the main walking period.

A fine day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1400-1700 m) - clear summits. A generally bright day is indicated, with about 12 hours of sunshine. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly -2 to 2°C, feeling around -8 to -4°C in the wind - wrap up. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way, especially where it is close to summit level.

Forecast confidence: Rain could reach the main walking period or hold off until later; forecast models disagree on the timing.

A grey, cloudy day on Scafell Pike: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Cloud base around 600-900 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud height is close to summit level at times, so small local changes could put the top in or out of cloud. A generally bright day is indicated, with about 12 hours of sunshine. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 13-35 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - walker-height summit wind could reasonably be 13-35 mph, with gusts 19-48 mph. Cloud base is the least certain part of this - it could sit a couple of hundred metres either way, especially where it is close to summit level.
