A grey, cloudy day on Hedgehope Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 100-400 m in the morning, lifting to 500-800 m around midday. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on eastern slopes; the western side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.

Thunder risk: moderate

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 40% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Hedgehope Hill: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph around midday (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the evening. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 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 17-29 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

Thunder risk: low

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on Hedgehope Hill: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the afternoon. 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 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 1000–1300 m around midday and 1300–1600 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 15-30 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-30 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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 Hedgehope Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lowering to 0–300 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin.

A wild day on Hedgehope Hill: summit wind broadly 40-70 mph, with gusts 85-95 mph during the evening (storm-force winds). Thunderstorms are possible from early morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 20-30 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 300–600 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 43-86 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 43 to 86 mph; check again nearer the time.
