A mixed day on Selside Pike: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-1100 m - 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 will be lowest on the NW slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the SE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected.

A mixed day on Selside Pike: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph around midday (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-1100 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the evening. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate (ensemble members show a moderate spread) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-30 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.
