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

Thunder risk: low

from around midday into the evening. Leave exposed summits and ridges if thunder develops.

Cloud-free timing: Around 67% early, falling to around 20% later.

A mixed day on Wether Hill: summit wind broadly 10-25 mph, with gusts 25-35 mph early in the morning (fresh and blowy). Thunderstorms are possible from around midday 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 900–1200 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 early morning into the afternoon. Some rain is likely, with up to around 2 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.

A grey, cloudy day on Wether Hill: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 35-45 mph around midday (strong winds). A meaningful thunderstorm risk is indicated from early morning into the evening. Avoid committing to exposed ridges if storms begin to build. The ground is likely to be wet after recent rain. Much calmer lower down - generally 5-15 mph in the valley, rising towards the tops. Cloud base around 1300–1600 m in the morning, lowering to 600–900 m around midday and 400–700 m by late afternoon. The top is likely to drift in and out of cloud, with the best chance of a view early in the morning. Cloud is likely to hang lowest on western slopes; the eastern side should see somewhat higher bases and better breaks. Little or no rain expected. Confidence moderate (Summit wind could be roughly 17-34 mph, which changes how difficult exposed walking may feel) - the summit peak could reasonably be 17-34 mph, so treat the headline as mid-range.

Some rain is likely, with around 2-5 mm indicated; timing and local totals remain uncertain.
