Rough Tor weather forecast.

Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

A mixed day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-800 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 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. 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.

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 fine day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1100 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

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

A wild day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (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. High spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may become difficult or impassable. Most likely from around 03:00 until around 20:00. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 400-1100 m) - clear summits. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 20-40 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably.

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

A fine day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be saturated after recent rain. Expect boggy paths and rapid runoff if more rain arrives. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-800 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin.

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

A mixed day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 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. 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 02:00 the following day. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 400-700 m) - clear summits. 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 19-36 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 19-36 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. 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 14:00 until around 03:00 the following day. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 400-1000 m) - clear summits.

Forecast confidence: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

A mixed day on Rough Tor: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Thunderstorms are possible from early morning into the afternoon. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1100 m) - clear summits. 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. Bright spells with UV up to 5 - sunscreen on exposed skin. 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.
