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

Thunder risk: high

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

A fine day on Brown Clee Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from late afternoon into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 700-1500 m) - clear summits. 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Brown Clee Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are forecast from early morning into the evening. Avoid exposed summits and ridges during the risk period. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 05:00 until around 21:00. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 700–1000 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 southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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.

A wild day on Brown Clee Hill: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. 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 05:00 until around 23:00. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 700–1000 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Treat the cloud base with caution - the models disagree on humidity, so it could be well above or below the figure given.

A mixed day on Brown Clee Hill: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the afternoon. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1400 m) - clear summits. 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 up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 21-34 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-34 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
