According to the mountain forecasts, very low-level temperature inversions are likely over the next few days, with tops of maybe only 350 - 400 metres, at least in Wales.

it may be worth getting those walking boots on......!

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does this mean in non meteorological English?

 

[jerry12953]

It means that it might be cloudy at ground level but if you get above even 400 metres, you are likely to be above the cloud and in bright sunshine. Although obviously the usual precautions about taking weather forecasts at face value apply!

I don't need to go anywhere for that it happens right out side my window.I do live at 1500 ft though.

Mists already hitting the floors here and what a fantastic sunset this evening, certainly heading out in the morning

Where do you get such information? I'd love to have advance notice of such things since I live miles away from anything more than 20m high and need to drive quite a distance to enjoy some relief!

I'm in Glencoe for a TP meet this weekend and I'll be taking my full waterproof gear

Cheers.

If you go to the Met Office website you can click on "Mountain Forecasts" and choose the area you're planning to visit. There are also other mountain forecast sites . They will often/sometimes actually say if the tops are likely to be clear above a mass of low cloud. Then it's a matter of interpretation and experience, and keeping your fingers crossed.

Rob,

I know I'm pretty obsessive about this, but the tops of clouds in temperature inversions are usually flat so I'd be surprised if your horizon is correct!
