Looking forward to the hills? Here is an easy way to check expected conditions and find up-to-date forecasts from the major sources. The grid shows the worst summit conditions over the next few days (from ).

The hazard grid is compiled from the detailed text forecasts published by the MWIS. The individual grid colours ('hazard levels') are calculated from their wind and temperature forecasts, and explained below. Temperature is typically the peak wind chill (or the overnight low). Wind speed is for gusts. Tapping any region will take you straight to the original report from the MWIS.

Weather data and forecasts displayed here are replicated from MWIS for convenience. We do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or safety of the information provided. Mountain weather conditions change rapidly and can be life-threatening. Do not rely solely on this webpage for trip planning or navigation; always check the official MWIS website directly before heading onto the hills.

Calculating Hazard Level.

A mountain weather hazard level, from 1 (Low) to 5 (Extreme), is calculated based on:
    - peak wind speed (mph)
    - lowest temperature (C).

# Fail-safe: if data is missing.
If peak_wind is None or min_temp is None:
    the answer is 0 (an error code or level 0)

# LEVEL 5 : EXTREME DANGER
Blown over / Instant Frostbite Risk

if peak_wind >= 55 or min_temp <= -15:
    the answer is 5

# LEVEL 4 : ARDUOUS & SEVERE
Strenuous walking / Severe Wind Chill

if peak_wind >= 40 or min_temp <= -5:
    # if BOTH are borderline, bump it up to a 5
    if peak_wind >= 35 AND min_temp <= -2:
        the answer is 5
    the answer is 4

# LEVEL 3 : CHALLENGING / PROGRESS IMPEDED
Buffeting on ridges / Freezing conditions

if peak_wind >= 25 or min_temp <= 0:
    the answer is 3

# LEVEL 2 : MODERATE
Noticeable breeze / Cool air

if peak_wind >= 15 or min_temp <= 5:
    the answer is 2

# LEVEL 1 : LOW RISK
Comfortable walking conditions

if none of the above:
    the answer is 1

Wind Chill & the human body.

The Human Body Only Cares About Wind Chill.

The custom hazard level, in the grid above, relies heavily on wind chill temperatures rather than just the actual air temperature.
Static air temperature only tells you how cold it is for inert objects. For a human being, moving air strips away the microscopic layer of warm air trapped next to our skin. A summit that is 2C on paper will feel like -10C to our body in a 40 mph gale. The wind chill value reflects the speed at which we lose body heat - hypothermia thresholds are tied to wind chill.

Also keep in mind, valley or sea-level wind speeds usually double or triple on a mountain summit. Additionally, geographical features like narrow ridges, saddles (cols), and deep valleys act as natural funnels, accelerating a manageable 25 mph wind into a dangerous 50+ mph gale. So, we use specialist forcasters like MWIS or MetOffice.
