Sgùrr Dubh weather forecast.

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

A mixed day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 10-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the morning (strong winds). Thunder watch from late afternoon into the evening: a small but credible risk is present. Watch for growing clouds and leave exposed tops if thunder develops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1200 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 6 hours on when it arrives.

A grey, cloudy day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). 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 northeastern slopes; the southwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 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: A low thunderstorm risk remains difficult to time precisely.

A grey, cloudy day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph during the afternoon (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 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.

A rough, clagged-in day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from around midday into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. 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 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.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 100%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 10-20 mph early in the morning (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. Cloud base around 300–600 m in the morning, then around 800–1100 m around midday and 300–600 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from the morning into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

Forecast confidence: Summit wind could be roughly 21-37 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel.

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

A grey, cloudy day on Sgùrr Dubh: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 700–1000 m around midday and 1000–1300 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 northern slopes; the southern 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 4 to 8°C, feeling around -2 to 2°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 21-37 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-37 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
