A fine day on Beinn Bhreac: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1500–1800 m around midday and 1400–1700 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

A fine day on Beinn Bhreac: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1400-2000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. 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 Bhreac: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 700-1000 m in the morning, lowering to 400-700 m around midday. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break.
