Ground Conditions
Time: At the summit around 1600
Snow above: no significant snow
Route taken: PyG path
Next report: Friday 20-3-26
Conditions
By today's observations the path was almost completely clear of snow and ice, with only the occasional small chunk of snow lying on the mountain which did not affect walking the path at all.
A cloudy, misty and windy afternoon, but largely dry.
Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).
It might even be worth considering sunglasses and sunscreen in the days to come, especially for those who burn easily.
Additional Information
On the Tuesday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature at the summit will be above freezing throughout the period until the next report on Friday, with low temperatures overnight. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as 2ºC (feeling like it is as low as -4ºC at times).
With warmer weather and moderate wind over the coming days any snow or ice is unlikely before the next report. Despite this overnight temperatures will be pretty cold, which is worth preparing for, and the possibility of frost or ice under clear skies is not far away either, and therefore worth keeping an eye on the latest forecasts.
