Three Pikes weather forecast.

A mixed day on Three Pikes: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Cloud base 500-1600 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. 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 700-1000 m; the E side should be clearer, lifting to around 900-1200 m. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 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.
