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

A mixed day on Wild Boar Fell: summit wind broadly 15-30 mph, with gusts 30-40 mph during the evening (strong winds). Thunder watch from the morning into the evening: a small but credible risk is present. Watch for growing clouds and leave exposed tops if thunder develops.
