A mixed day on Culardoch: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 900-1200 m around midday. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. 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: Best around midday at about 25%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Culardoch: 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 600-900 m around midday. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible 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 17-37 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 17-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 15-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A rough, clagged-in day on Culardoch: summit wind broadly 0-10 mph, with gusts 5-15 mph during the evening (light winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. 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 23:00. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 1300–1600 m around midday and 600–900 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. 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.
