Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.
A mixed day on Moel Penamnen: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the morning (strong winds). Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, lifting to 1600–1900 m around midday and 2000–2300 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 23-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
