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

Thunder risk: high

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

A fine day on Twmpa: summit wind broadly 5-20 mph, with gusts 15-25 mph around midday (a moderate breeze). Thunderstorms are a significant hazard from late afternoon into the evening. Exposed summits and ridges are a poor choice while storms are nearby. Any cloud sits well above the tops (base 700-1500 m) - clear summits. 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. 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.

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

A wild day on Twmpa: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph during the afternoon (strong winds). Thunderstorms are forecast from early morning into the evening. Avoid exposed summits and ridges during the risk period. 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 700–1000 m around midday and 1100–1400 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view from around midday into the evening. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on southern slopes; the northern 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.

A mixed day on Twmpa: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 400–700 m in the morning, then around 1300–1600 m around midday and 700–1000 m by late afternoon. Summit cloud should lift later, bringing a better chance of clear views. 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. Confidence moderate (forecast models agree on the walking impact of the wind) - the summit peak could reasonably be 23-29 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.
