Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 1200–1500 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.",

}Early-access limits and final technical scope are confirmed before a key is issued.
For a public website or app that needs the immediate mountain outlook.
For trip-planning products that need the full forecast week and activity detail.
For commercial products that need activity forecasts without a public credit.
For larger audiences, multiple products or licensed data feeds.
Community and Extended displays must show a visible link beside or directly below each forecast. It cannot be hidden behind a hover, tap or expandable panel.
Under the accepted API terms, removing the required credit moves that integration to the published attribution-free rate for the period the credit is absent. If you do not want that charge, keep the linked credit visible or stop displaying the data.
Scraping, copying or republishing Mountain Weather content outside an agreed licence remains unauthorised and must stop unless permission is given.

Mountain forecast by Mountain WeatherA key is issued after the applicable API terms are accepted. Those terms record the forecast horizon, usage limit, products and attribution choice for the integration.
Community keys receive core mountain weather only. Wild-camping, climbing, scrambling and named-crag data is included with Extended, White label and Enterprise.
The free licence covers the first three consecutive days. Seven-day display requires Extended, White label or an agreed Enterprise licence.
Customers accepting an attributed plan agree that verified periods without the required credit are charged at the current £150/month attribution-free rate.
Keys may not be shared, used to evade limits, reconstruct the database, train an AI model, resell raw responses or power a substantially similar forecast service unless expressly agreed.
Partners must not describe a forecast as guaranteed and remain responsible for their own product, presentation and users.
Community access includes three days of core mountain weather: summit wind and gusts, temperature and wind chill, rain, cloud, freezing level, relevant hazards, confidence, forecast text and Mountain Weather ratings.
No. Wild-camping, climbing, scrambling and named-crag forecasts are included with every paid plan: Extended, White label and Enterprise.
Yes. The free three-day forecast widget is a copy-and-paste iframe that updates automatically and includes the required Mountain Weather attribution.
Community and Extended plans require a visible linked credit beside the forecast. Customers who accept the API terms and then remove that credit are charged at the £150 per month attribution-free rate for the period of unattributed use.
