A mixed day on Stiperstones: summit wind broadly 15-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph early in the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 700-2300 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

from the morning into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

A mixed day on Stiperstones: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from the morning into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 500-1300 m) - clear summits. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

A rough, clagged-in day on Stiperstones: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunderstorms are forecast from the morning into the evening. Avoid exposed summits and ridges during the risk period. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 06:00 until around 20:00. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 300–600 m in the morning, lifting to 400–700 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 late afternoon into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. A persistently wet day is possible, with around 10-20 mm indicated; local totals could vary considerably.

A mixed day on Stiperstones: summit wind broadly 15-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from early morning into the evening. 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 05:00 until around 20:00. Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 700–1000 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late afternoon into the evening. 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 5-10 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 18-26 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range. 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.
