Ben Ledi weather forecast.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 20-35 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 5-15 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 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.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 80% later.

A mixed day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from around midday into the evening. 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 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 700–1000 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 13-25 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 13-25 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, improving to around 100% later.

A fine day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 10-20 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. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1400 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.

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudier around midday at about 25%; around 100% early and 100% later.

A fine day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 0-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from late afternoon into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 0–300 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. Little or no rain expected.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the afternoon. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1100–1400 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Ben Ledi: summit wind broadly 15-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the evening. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 19-71 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 19 to 71 mph; check again nearer the time.
