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

Thunder risk: high

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

Severe spate risk

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Moel y Cerrig Duon: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Severe spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become unsafe or impassable. Most likely from around 10:00 until around 04:00 the following day. Cloud base mostly around 500–800 m through daylight. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 20-40 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 100%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A mixed day on Moel y Cerrig Duon: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the afternoon. 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.

A grey, cloudy day on Moel y Cerrig Duon: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. 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 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 15-33 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-33 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
