Càrn na Caim weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Càrn na Caim: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Little or no rain expected.

A fine day on Càrn na Caim: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated during the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1400-2000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on Càrn na Caim: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). 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, lifting to 900-1200 m around midday. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 40% later.

A mixed day on Càrn na Caim: summit wind broadly 0-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from late afternoon into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, then around 1300–1600 m around midday and 800–1100 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. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

A grey, cloudy day on Càrn na Caim: summit wind broadly 10-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 900–1200 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 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 16-37 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
