Additional weather information
Met Office Aberdeen meteorologist's view
Feeling cool at height for the time of year, despite the sun. Suitable protection will be required from the sun. Note the strengthening winds later giving very difficult walking conditions with progress highly impeded and a significant risk of being blown over
Weather
Mostly dry with sunny spells through the day, though a few showers feed in from the west. Strengthening winds back southerly, reaching gales through late afternoon. Widespread cloud and heavy rain spread east through the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% through day, falling to 30% in the evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Often clear summits and excellent visibilities for much of the day, though areas of cloud around 600-800m and visibilities falling moderate as any light showers pass through. Cloud becoming extensive down to 500-700m in the evening and visibilities fall poor in rain.
