A mixed day on Westernhope Moor: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1100 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. 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.
