A mixed day on Binsey: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1500 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

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

Thunder risk: moderate

from late afternoon into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Binsey: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from late afternoon into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 200–500 m in the morning, lifting to 1100–1400 m around midday and 1900–2200 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Binsey: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening.

High spate risk

Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Assess them at the water and turn back if unsure.

A wild day on Binsey: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 21:00. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 400-1000 m) - clear summits. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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.
