Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, falling to around 20% later.

A mixed day on Ben Gulabin: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 900–1200 m in the morning, lowering to 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 the morning into the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on eastern slopes; the western side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Thunder risk: low

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

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

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Gulabin: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, then around 2900–3200 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. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-29 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Ben Gulabin: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 5-15 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 400-700 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday.

Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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.
