Meall a' Choire Lèith weather forecast.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 50%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 1000–1300 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible from midday into the afternoon. 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: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 20% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 1300–1600 m around midday and 800–1100 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern 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 (Summit wind could be roughly 14-28 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 2900–3200 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. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

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

A grey, cloudy day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (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 100–400 m in the morning, lifting to 400–700 m around midday and 800–1100 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 10-50 mph, with gusts 55-65 mph during the evening (storm-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 00:00 until around 02:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 100–400 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. 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 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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 23-56 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 23 to 56 mph; check again nearer the time. 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.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 34-74 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 80% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Meall a' Choire Lèith: summit wind broadly 25-50 mph, with gusts 55-65 mph early in the morning (storm-force winds). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 800–1100 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 900–1200 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 northwestern slopes; the southeastern 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -6 to -2°C in the wind - wrap up. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 34-74 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 34 to 74 mph; check again nearer the time.
