Wind33 mph NW Gusts47 mph Feels1°C Rain0.0 mm Cloud base827 m Freezing level2,080 m

A wild day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 500-900 m - 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 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up.

A mixed day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (strong winds). Cloud base 700-1000 m - the top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the afternoon. Little or no rain expected.

A mixed day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (strong winds). Cloud base 500-1100 m - 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 will be lowest on the SW slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the NE side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Little or no rain expected. 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.

A grey, cloudy day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 0-800 m - expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible from late afternoon into the evening. The cloud base is very changeable today - it could sit much higher or lower than that at times, so read the sky. Cloud will be lowest on the W slopes, down to about 400-700 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 600-900 m. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate - the forecast models differ somewhat (the forecast models show a moderate spread), so treat the numbers as a guide. 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.

A mixed day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base 500-1300 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. The cloud base is very changeable today - it could sit much higher or lower than that at times, so read the sky. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Low confidence - the models disagree markedly (the forecast models are widely spread); check again nearer the time.

A mixed day on Steeple: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud from about 300-1100 m upwards - the mid slopes and the 819 m top are inside it, so expect clag above 300-1100 m. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 6 - sunscreen on exposed skin. Confidence moderate - the forecast models differ somewhat (the forecast models show a moderate spread), so treat the numbers as a guide. 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.
