A mixed day on Beinn an Òir: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1000-1500 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Forecast models disagree materially on rainfall amounts.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; around 33% early and 20% later.

A mixed day on Beinn an Òir: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 200–500 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.

A grey, cloudy day on Beinn an Òir: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 1800–2100 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 is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern 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. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 21-47 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 21 to 47 mph; check again nearer the time.
