Conditions
No snow was observed during today's observations. There were a few small bits of ice and frost in sheltered areas close to the summit, but they were not significant enough to cause any issues whatsoever.
A fine day with a light but cool breeze.
Essential equipment
Seasonally appropriate walking equipment, including lighting (such as a head torch).
Carrying microspikes will give you options to stay safe on the mountain if snow or ice develops (see below).
Additional information
On the Friday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will be close to, or below freezing at times during the period until the final report of the season on Tuesday. It seems the temperature will be colder at the start of the weekend, and slightly less cold towards the start of the week. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -2˚C (feeling as low as -9˚C).
Significant snow does not look likely to develop from the forecast, but with temperatures below freezing, and a shower or two possible there is a possibility of some snow at times. With temperatures forecast to be a degree or two below freezing there is also the possibility of some ice or frost, especially high up on the mountain overnight, and early morning, over the weekend.
