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.

Cloud-free timing: Around 100% early, falling to around 80% later.

A mixed day on Mynydd Drws-y-coed: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 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 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 900–1200 m in the morning, then around 500–800 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the morning. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern 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.

A wild day on Mynydd Drws-y-coed: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph around midday (strong winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 09:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 3000–3300 m in the morning, lowering to 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 late morning into midday. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 17-31 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 17-31 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
