Thunder risk: low

from late afternoon into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 40% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Beinn Ìme: summit wind broadly 25-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are possible from late afternoon into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1000–1300 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. 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.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 13-29 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Beinn Ìme: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1400–1700 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. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 13-29 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 13-29 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Beinn Ìme: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1300–1600 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 northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. 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 rough, clagged-in day on Beinn Ìme: summit wind broadly 15-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 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.

Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 19-44 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-44 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
