Ben Vrackie weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Ben Vrackie: 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 1500–1800 m around midday and 1000–1300 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Cloud-free timing: Around 100% early, falling to around 80% later.

A fine day on Ben Vrackie: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 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. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1000-1500 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.

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

A fine day on Ben Vrackie: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1400 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 6 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A fine day on Ben Vrackie: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 800-1900 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Ben Vrackie: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 400-700 m in the morning, lifting to 1300-1600 m around midday. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Ben Vrackie: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from early morning 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 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 from late afternoon into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 14-32 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-32 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
