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

A grey, cloudy day on Monadh Mòr: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 700–1000 m in the morning, then around 1000–1300 m around midday and 800–1100 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up. 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.
