Creag Leacach weather forecast.

A grey, cloudy day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (fresh and blowy). Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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.

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

A mixed day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 900–1200 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. Little or no rain expected.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 100% early, falling to around 0% later.

A mixed day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the 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 1900–2200 m in the morning, lowering to 1400–1700 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 early morning into around midday. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 9 hours on when it arrives.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 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 during the afternoon. 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. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 17-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 17-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 12 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A mixed day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 800-1100 m in the morning, lifting to 1300-1600 m around midday. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the evening. 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 60% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Severe spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become unsafe or impassable. Most likely from around 02:00 until around 02:00 the following day. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 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 late afternoon into the evening. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Creag Leacach: summit wind broadly 5-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 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. The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 08:00 until around 23:00. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 1300–1600 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 14-33 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-33 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
