A mixed day on Thack Moor: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base 400-1100 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 W slopes, down to about 700-1000 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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.
