A wild day on Stob Daimh: summit wind broadly 20-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph early in the morning (gale-force winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 700-1000 m in the morning, lifting to 1000-1300 m around midday. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 28-39 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

A grey, cloudy day on Stob Daimh: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from early morning into the afternoon.

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.
