Bright with Sunshine
12th February 2026
Blue skies and sunshine but feeling really cold in the moderate Easterly winds, minus 5.3 Celsius at 1000 metres. Great to be able to see something at higher elevations. Much of the snowpack is frozen and hard with pockets of newer snow in sheltered locations. Yesterday’s windslab remains on Westerly aspects above 900 metres and today, on a fragile crust with a thin layer of facet crystals. The temperature gradient in the upper snowpack being a noticeable 2.9 degrees. Not widespread but readily releasing when isolated.
The colder and calmer conditions continue tomorrow and into Saturday with more sunshine forecast.
Blue sky this morning, most summits clearing any cloud through the morning. Westerly aspects of the Pap of Glencoe and Sgorr nam Fiannaidh.
