Driesh weather forecast.

A grey, cloudy day on Driesh: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base mostly around 500–800 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 southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-25 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Driesh: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend 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 1100–1400 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 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: Clear early, clouding up later.

A grey, cloudy day on Driesh: 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 afternoon. 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 700–1000 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. The summit should be clear early, with cloud building around midday. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 18-36 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

A grey, cloudy day on Driesh: 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 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 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. 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 18-36 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 18-36 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.

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

A mixed day on Driesh: 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 80% later.

A wild day on Driesh: 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. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 00:00 the following day. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 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. 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 100% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Driesh: 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 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 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 13-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 13-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
