Ben Vane weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Around 33% early, falling to around 0% later.

A mixed day on Ben Vane: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). 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 900–1200 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the morning. 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 20% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Vane: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 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, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 15-25 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-25 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 9 hours on when it arrives.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Vane: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 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.

A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 100-400 m in the morning, lifting to 600-900 m around midday. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 16-32 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-32 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 Ben Vane: summit wind broadly 25-65 mph, with gusts 80-90 mph during the evening (storm-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 100–400 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. 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 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind - wrap up. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 42-76 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 42 to 76 mph; check again nearer the time.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 37-64 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 20% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Ben Vane: summit wind broadly 30-50 mph, with gusts 60-70 mph early in the morning (storm-force winds). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain.
