A mixed day on Binnein Beag: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 1000–1300 m around midday and 1500–1800 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. Little or no rain expected.

A mixed day on Binnein Beag: summit wind broadly 5-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from late afternoon into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1400-2000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 17-30 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A grey, cloudy day on Binnein Beag: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the morning (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. 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.

A grey, cloudy day on Binnein Beag: summit wind broadly 10-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning 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 800–1100 m in the morning, then around 400–700 m around midday and 700–1000 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. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 24-44 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 24-44 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
