Milder today
20th February 2026
After some fresh snow on strong South-westerly winds last night, today was a lot milder than recent days with the freezing level rising to around 1100 metres. However precipitation above around 950 metres fluctuated between snow and rain through much of the afternoon. Some avalanche debris was observed on the East aspect of Stob a Ghlais Coire, this most likely occurred when precipitation turned to rain. After some consolidation overnight heavy rain is forecast to all levels tomorrow, further wet snow instabilities are possible on steep slopes, particularity in the event of cornice collapse and all remaining cornices will be unstable.
Milder conditions than we have has recently are forecast to continue for the next few days although the freezing level is due to fall back to around 1000 metres on Sunday.
