A grey, cloudy day on Sgòrr Ruadh: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 200–500 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 1300–1600 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. 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: Forecast models disagree on whether meaningful rain reaches the hills during 10:00-16:00.

A rough, clagged-in day on Sgòrr Ruadh: summit wind broadly 10-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds).

A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 6 to 10°C, feeling around 0 to 4°C in the wind - wrap up.
