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

A wild day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunder watch from late afternoon into the evening: a small but credible risk is present. Watch for growing clouds and leave exposed tops if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1200–1500 m around midday and 1000–1300 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. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 28-35 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 7 hours on when it arrives.
Cloud-free timing: Around 100% early, falling to around 80% later.
A mixed day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 10-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1100-2000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 18-32 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 18-32 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.
A grey, cloudy day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 100–400 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.
Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.
from the morning into the afternoon. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.
A grey, cloudy day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the afternoon. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 100–400 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 800–1100 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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: Forecast models disagree on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during 10:00-16:00.
A rough, clagged-in day on Creag nan Dàmh: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 100-400 m in the morning, lifting to 400-700 m around midday. 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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 21-43 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-43 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
