Snow Melt
20th December 2024
Rainfall and a freezing level above the summits overnight and most of today has much diminished the snow cover. A vague snowline is around 700m. and any remaining snow is thawing and wet.
A similar weather pattern to today is expected tomorrow, but with much stronger WSW summit winds of up to 80mph peaking around midday. Most new snowfall during the afternoon will be blown to lower elevations where it will melt.
