Detailed mountain weather forecast: Brecon Beacons

Sunday

Weather

Light winds and clear periods during the early hours mean that it will be rather chilly at first and there is likely to be some mist and fog in the valleys. This will clear during the first half of the morning and the rest of the day will be dry with sunny periods. Winds will increase and will become northwesterly in the afternoon, and this will make it feel a little cooler again to end the day.

Visibility

Generally good, but only moderate in early morning mist.

Hill fog

Some mist and fog in the valleys at first, otherwise nil.

Maximum winds above 400m

15 mph northwesterly in the afternoon.

Temperature

Valleys Plus 5 Celsius rising to plus 15 Celsius.
800 m Between plus 6 and plus 9 Celsius.
Freezing level Above the summits.

Monday

Weather

A much cloudier day than Sunday although with some bright intervals. Low cloud will give extensive periods of hill fog over the summits during the day, and cloud will be thick enough to produce outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. It will also be a breezy day, especially at height, and will feel cold.

Visibility

Generally moderate, but poor or very poor in hill fog and rain.

Hill fog

Hill fog above 600 metres will be extensive at times.

Maximum winds above 400m

20 mph northerly or northeasterly. Occasional gusts to 30 mph.

Temperature

Valleys Plus 10 Celsius, perhaps rising to plus 15 degrees Celsius in brighter intervals.
800 m Plus 10 Celsius
Freezing level Above the summits.

Outlook

Tuesday

A rather cloudy day with hill fog and a chance of outbreaks of rain and drizzle, mainly on northern slopes. Periods of hill fog are likely. Fresh northerly winds will affect all areas so it will feel cool.

Wednesday

A mixed day of sunny spells and occasional but locally sharp showers. Fresh northerly winds will continue to affect the National Park so it will feel chilly.

Thursday

Strong north or northwesterly winds will continue throughout the day, and it will feel cold at altitude with the freezing level just above the summits. There will be some sunny periods, especially in the west, but with scattered showers in the east, some of these heavy with a risk of hail.
