Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; around 33% early and 40% later.

A mixed day on Cùl Mòr: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 600–900 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 late morning into midday. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 24-30 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
