A grey, cloudy day on Stùcd an Lochain: summit wind broadly 20-35 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph during the morning (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500-800 m in the morning, lifting to 800-1100 m around midday. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view during the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southeastern slopes; the northwestern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on Stùcd an Lochain: summit wind broadly 20-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 500–800 m in the morning, then around 900–1200 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. Expect clag for much of the day, though a brief clearance is possible from midday into the afternoon. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on eastern slopes; the western side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 22-29 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.
