Forecast confidence: Thunderstorm timing is inherently uncertain and may shift by several hours.
from the morning into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.
A mixed day on Mellbreak: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1900-3100 m) - clear summits. 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 22-33 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
