Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, falling to around 40% later.

A mixed day on Càrn Mòr: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. 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. 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 mixed day on Càrn Mòr: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops.

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. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 24-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
