Buffeted by MWIS reports

Oh how I've missed it. "Considerable buffeting on higher areas" and "Chance of cloud free summits? Less than 10%". The joys of the Mountain Weather Information Service with its often crushingly bleak outlooks.



A phenomenal resource to safely plan a trip to the mountains with all the questions you need to know the answer to and that a BBC weather report is never going to tell you.

If you're heading for the hills it's top of your to do list before even packing your map and compass. There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad kit. Knowledge is power indeed.

The daily MWIS update makes and breaks plans for the peaks while also offering up 'challenges' to the foolhardy who like sticking their head in the clouds. Now, where's my jacket. Forewarned is forearmed, right?
