Thunder risk: high

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 33% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on Mynydd Llysiau: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the afternoon. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Cloud base around 500–800 m through the morning, lifting to 1100–1400 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. 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.

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

Thunder risk: likely

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on Mynydd Llysiau: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunderstorms are forecast from early morning into the evening. Avoid exposed summits and ridges during the risk period. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 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 during the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-32 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A wild day on Mynydd Llysiau: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 05:00 until around 20:00. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 700–1000 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 28-36 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.
