The day on the hill

Little rain and limited summit cloud on Twmpa: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph at times (a moderate breeze). Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud.

Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Rain & temperature

Little or no rain is forecast.

Forecast confidence

Cloud height remains uncertain, especially where it is close to summit level. Cloud-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud, even where forecasts agree on the wider cloud cover.

Cloud-free timing: Around 45% early, improving to around 95% later.

Sunshine context Model-grid estimate, not summit sunshine

The surrounding model grid indicates 7.3 h of sunshine. This is not a forecast of time in sunshine on the summit. Use the cloud and views outlook above for the conditions on this mountain.

Full overnight outlook

Open-hillside camping looks very good overall around 600 m (97/100). Light winds are expected on open ground, though local shelter and exposure still matter. Little overnight rain is forecast. Forecast models strongly support a good night, but not at the exceptional-certainty threshold. The grade is capped at 97/100.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 3-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 6°C. Allow more margin if you sleep cold or expect fatigue, and use an adequate insulated mat. Dampness is possible, so keep the sleep system dry and ensure its insulation remains effective if damp.

Open-hillside reference. A sheltered pitch may be calmer; cols and ridges may be much windier. Tent design and the exact pitch still matter. Read about sleeping-bag comfort ratings, pitching in strong winds or using the wild-camping forecast.

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look excellent (92/100). Rock is likely to be mostly dry, though seepage and shaded holds are not resolved. The mapped summit rock is Interbedded sandstone and [subequal/subordinate] argillaceous rocks (Senni Formation). Usually rough and grippy when dry. Damp sandstone and gritstone can feel greasy, and saturated sandstone may be weakened, so let the rock dry fully.

Warmth planning: As a broad starting point, consider a 3-season bag with an ISO/EN comfort rating at or below about 6°C. Allow more margin if you sleep cold or expect fatigue, and use an adequate insulated mat. Dampness is possible, so keep the sleep system dry and ensure its insulation remains effective if damp.

Open-hillside reference. A sheltered pitch may be calmer; cols and ridges may be much windier. Tent design and the exact pitch still matter. Read about sleeping-bag comfort ratings, pitching in strong winds or using the wild-camping forecast.

Full climbing & scrambling outlook

Conditions for exposed scrambling look excellent (95/100). Rock is likely to be mostly dry, though seepage and shaded holds are not resolved. The mapped summit rock is Interbedded sandstone and [subequal/subordinate] argillaceous rocks (Senni Formation). Usually rough and grippy when dry. Damp sandstone and gritstone can feel greasy, and saturated sandstone may be weakened, so let the rock dry fully.

The day on the hill

On Twmpa: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph at times (a moderate breeze).

Wind & exposure

Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops.

Cloud & views

Cloud base around 500–800 m through the morning, lifting to 1500–1800 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-height uncertainty could put the summit in or out of cloud. Clear spells may be difficult to time.

Sunny spells are possible away from summit cloud, but may not reach the top while it is in cloud. Drizzle is forecast at times.

The forecast total is around 2-5 mm, but local amounts will vary. Forecast models disagree markedly on summit wind strength.

Overall confidence is unavailable: insufficient comparable wind, rain guidance.
