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

A grey, cloudy day on Meallan nan Uan: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northeastern slopes; the southwestern 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 (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 16-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A grey, cloudy day on Meallan nan Uan: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). 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 through the morning, lifting to 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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.
