Milder South-Westerly airflow dominates…..
19th January 2024
The freezing level has slowly risen over the last 12 hours from -7 degrees celsius at 1050 metres to -1.7 degrees celsius at midday. Scattered showers fell as snow initially above 450 metres then mainly above 550 metres. Strong winds were South-Westerly touching gale force at times in exposed places. The freezing level was around 550 metres and a slow thaw is taking place below 450 metres. Tomorrow the weather looks set to be much milder with stronger winds which will exacerbate the situation.
This is as good as it got regarding visibility, Stob Dearg and Coire na Tulaich from Altnafeadh.
