A grey, cloudy day on Sgùrr nan Eugallt: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from the morning into the evening. Keep an escape route from exposed ridges and descend if thunder develops. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 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 evening. 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 around 2-5 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 16-27 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. Little or no rain expected. 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 is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern 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 14-26 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 14-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
