This post will be consistently updated throughout the winter months with the current weather and temperatures at 750m. The purpose of this isn’t to replace the multitude of weather forecasts available. Instead, I aim to provide an easy to read history of the weather to aid in identifying areas of risk, and where is most likely in condition for winter climbing.
I draw my information primarily from the sources below:
Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS)
Met Office summit forecasts
