A fine day on Gorllwyn: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 1400–1700 m around midday and 3000–3300 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected.

from the morning into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A fine day on Gorllwyn: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). 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 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1900–2200 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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 rough, clagged-in day on Gorllwyn: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are forecast from early morning into the evening. Avoid exposed summits and ridges during the risk period. 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 23:00. Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Gorllwyn: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 02:00 until around 18:00. Cloud base mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks.
