Mountain & hill weather forecast 


Issued Thursday 2nd September  2010

General Situation:High pressure to the east, low pressure to the west with fronts trying to push in from the Atlantic across the British Isles and bringing cloud and some rain to western parts, mainly Ireland, but perhaps also to the Hebrides and parts of the West Highlands.  Most central and eastern upland areas remaining fine and dry after any early low cloud has cleared.  A strong southeasterly airflow with temperatures around normal for September and on the mild side at night with no risk of frosts and freezing levels remain above summits throughout.

Saturday 4th September- Low cloud with some drizzle in places at first, particularly around southern and eastern slopes, but this soon clearing to give a fine dry and sunny day for most parts.  Variable cloud mostly broken above summits.  Strong southeasterly winds, especially across the West Highlands with gales over summits, lighter for Wales and SW.  A front pushing in from the west bringing low cloud and rain to Ireland and perhaps the Outer Hebrides  - this possibly also affecting coastal parts of Argyll and Lochaber as well in the afternoon. 

Overnight the front may push futher east but looks likely to weaken, with some low cloud and a bit of patchy rain possible across the West and Central parts of Scotland and maybe the Lake District.  Dry elsewhere.


Sunday 5th September-
Developing into a similar day for the most part, but drier and brighter for Ireland.  Once early low cloud and any remaining patchy light rain has cleared it should become a fine though again breezy day for all upland areas, with summits generally clear by afternoon. Once again southeasterly gales over higher summits, especially in the west.  High cloud spreading from the west in the afternoon though with the sun turning increasingly hazy and some rain starting to push into the west of Ireland by evening.

Further Outlook -Rain and low cloud starting to push in from the west on Monday, though remaining a fine day for central and eastern parts, with still a strong southeasterly wind.  It looks like low pressure in the Atlantic will then slide southeastwards across the SW of Britain through the middle of the week, with unsettled conditions for England and Wales - failry cloudy with rain at times - but generally dry for Scotland and with the West Highlands seeing the best weather under an easterly airflow.
