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

A mixed day on Benvane: 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, lifting to 1000-1300 m around midday. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. 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. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 23-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Benvane: 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.

A fine day on Benvane: 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Benvane: 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.

The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into 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 18-70 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 18 to 70 mph; check again nearer the time.
