Creag Rainich weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 100%; around 67% early and 80% later.

A fine day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). 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 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 800-1100 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northeastern slopes; the southwestern 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: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.

A grey, cloudy day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. 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. 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Cloud base around 600-900 m in the morning, lowering to 400-700 m around midday. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably.

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 grey, cloudy day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). 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 wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 300–600 m through the morning, lifting to 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 late afternoon into the evening. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 9-27 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 9-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 20-38 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Creag Rainich: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 17:00. 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 700-1000 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. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 20-38 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 20-38 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
