Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.
from the morning into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.
Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 80% later.
A grey, cloudy day on Foel Cwm-Sian Llwyd: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). 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 200–500 m in the morning, lifting to 500–800 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 afternoon into the evening. 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.
