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

Thunder risk: high

from late afternoon into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

High spate risk

Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Assess them at the water and turn back if unsure.

Cloud-free timing: Around 33% early, falling to around 0% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Moel Siabod: summit wind broadly 15-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from late afternoon into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 08:00 until around 01:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. A cloud layer may sit from about 400-700 m up to 700-1000 m. You may climb through it on the mid slopes, with a chance the summit stands clear above; this is not guaranteed. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably.

from early morning into the afternoon. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

A grey, cloudy day on Moel Siabod: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the afternoon. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. 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 mostly around 400–700 m through daylight. 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 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 18-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 18-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Moel Siabod: summit wind broadly 25-45 mph, with gusts 50-60 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the 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. 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 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 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 midday into the afternoon. 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 around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 22-44 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-44 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A wild day on Moel Siabod: summit wind broadly 35-50 mph, with gusts 55-65 mph during the afternoon (storm-force winds). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 15-25 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 900–1200 m around midday and 1700–2000 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 37-56 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 37 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.

A mixed day on Moel Siabod: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1800 m) - clear summits. 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 up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.
