The Dodd weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A fine day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). 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.

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

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A fine day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-25 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. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 1000-2000 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

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

Cloud-free timing: Best around midday at about 75%; around 0% early and 0% later.

A grey, cloudy day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (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 500–800 m in the morning, then around 700–1000 m around midday and 500–800 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from late morning into midday. Some rain is likely, with around 5-10 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

A rough, clagged-in day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from late afternoon into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. There could be a spate risk based on forecast rainfall. Burns and unbridged crossings may rise quickly. Most likely from around 00:00 until around 20:00. 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 northwestern slopes; the southeastern 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: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 40% later.

A mixed day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 600–900 m around midday and 500–800 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 up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

Cloud-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from the morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southwestern slopes; the northeastern 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-free timing: Cloudy early, clearing later.

A mixed day on The Dodd: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the evening (fresh and blowy). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 900–1200 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 11-29 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 11-29 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
