Creag an Dail Bheag weather forecast.

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

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

A mixed day on Creag an Dail Bheag: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1000–1300 m around midday and 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 midday into the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on eastern slopes; the western side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 50%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Creag an Dail Bheag: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the afternoon. 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, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible from midday into the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern 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.

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Creag an Dail Bheag: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from around midday into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1800–2100 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 20% later.

Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern 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.

A mixed day on Creag an Dail Bheag: summit wind broadly 5-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the 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 300–600 m in the morning, then around 1700–2000 m around midday and 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 the morning into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 16-43 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-43 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Around 33% early, falling to around 0% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Creag an Dail Bheag: summit wind broadly 30-40 mph, with gusts 45-55 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 700–1000 m through daylight. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the morning. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northwestern slopes; the southeastern 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 2 to 6°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 28-45 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 28-45 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
