Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A wild day on Sgòr Mòr: summit wind broadly 0-15 mph, with gusts 5-15 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). 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 02:00 until around 23:00. Cloud base around 400-700 m in the morning, lifting to 1300-1600 m around midday. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 5-10 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. 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.

A mixed day on Sgòr Mòr: summit wind broadly 5-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from early morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Cloud base around 600–900 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 900–1200 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 13-27 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 13-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
