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

Thunder risk: low

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Longlands Fell: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from around midday into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 700-1000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on Longlands Fell: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the morning (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 wet after recent rain. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 600–900 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 western slopes; the eastern 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 18-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A mixed day on Longlands Fell: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (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. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 2900–3200 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 14-27 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
