Red Pike weather forecast.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, improving to around 100% later.

A wild day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 25-45 mph, with gusts 50-60 mph during the morning (storm-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1900-3100 m) - clear summits. 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 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, falling to around 0% later.

A mixed day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from midday into the afternoon. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 700–1000 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 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. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. 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 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible during the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 15-28 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 15-28 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 11 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 50%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible from midday into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. 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. 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 12-27 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 12-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

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

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

A rough, clagged-in day on Red Pike: summit wind broadly 25-45 mph, with gusts 50-60 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 200–500 m in the morning, lifting to 400–700 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 evening. 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. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 25-55 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 25 to 55 mph; check again nearer the time.
