Overview
- Friday brings frequent showers with snow above roughly 600 m on the fells, very poor summit visibility, and strong westerly winds producing marked wind‑chill.
- Saturday turns slightly milder with fewer showers and sunny intervals, upland winds easing, and the best walking window likely from late morning to mid‑afternoon at lower and mid levels.
- Sunday looks more changeable with longer dry spells than earlier in the weekend, occasional bands of rain, and a breezy westerly to southwesterly flow.
- Westerly or southwesterly winds remain fresh to strong over higher ground with gusts around showers, though they are less severe than earlier in the week.
- Lowland temperatures sit near 4–9°C while the highest tops hover near freezing, with a freezing level around 700–800 m bringing icy paths and a blizzard‑like risk on the very highest summits in heavier pulses.
