The Fara weather forecast.

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, improving to around 100% later.

A fine day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph during the afternoon (fresh and blowy). Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 900-1500 m) - clear summits. Little or no rain expected.

A grey, cloudy day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 20-30 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Cloud base around 400–700 m through the morning, lifting to 600–900 m by late afternoon. Expect the top to stay in cloud for most or all of daylight, with no dependable break. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on northern slopes; the southern 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.

Forecast confidence: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 12 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 100% later.

A grey, cloudy day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 5-15 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph early in the morning (a moderate breeze). Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, lifting to 800–1100 m around midday and 1300–1600 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. 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-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 60% later.

A grey, cloudy day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph during the evening (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. Cloud base around 200–500 m in the morning, lifting to 600–900 m around midday and 1300–1600 m by late afternoon. 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 southern slopes; the northern 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.

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

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 20% later.

A rough, clagged-in day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 10-40 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph during the evening (gale-force winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning 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 03:00 the following day. Much calmer lower down - generally 0-10 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 300–600 m in the morning, then around 1200–1500 m around midday and 600–900 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from midday into the afternoon. 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. Low confidence (Summit wind could be roughly 19-50 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could be anywhere from 19 to 50 mph; check again nearer the time. 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: Rain is possible, but forecast models differ by about 14 hours on when it arrives.

Cloud-free timing: Around 0% early, improving to around 100% later.

A mixed day on The Fara: summit wind broadly 25-35 mph, with gusts 40-50 mph around midday (gale-force winds). The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 10-20 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 600–900 m through the morning, lifting to 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 northwestern slopes; the southeastern 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. Cold on top: air temperature broadly 2 to 6°C, feeling around -4 to 0°C in the wind - wrap up. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 21-38 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 21-38 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
