Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 19-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.

A rough, clagged-in day on Beinn Dearg Mòr: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the morning (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 00:00 the following day. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 600–900 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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.
