A wild day on Fan Brycheiniog - Twr y Fan Foel: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Little or no rain expected. 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.

A mixed day on Fan Brycheiniog - Twr y Fan Foel: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the afternoon. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1400–1700 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected.

A rough, clagged-in day on Fan Brycheiniog - Twr y Fan Foel: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 05:00 until around 20:00. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 700-1000 m in the morning, lowering to 400-700 m around midday. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible early in the morning. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 25-35 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
