Conditions
No snow or ice was seen on the mountain today, with conditions generally pleasantly dry underfoot.

A fine sunny day, with a strong breeze but quite cold at times, and feeling mild in the sun out of the wind.

Essential equipment
Seasonally appropriate walking gear, including lighting (such as a head torch or two).

With the sun getting stronger, and the deceivingly cooling wind, it's worth starting to consider the possibility of sunburn and whether you need clothes with a collar and long sleeves (and a hat?) or sunscreen to protect against the sun for long days or those prone to burning in the sun.

Additional Information
On the Tuesday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will be above freezing for most of the period until the next report on Friday. The temperature is forecast to be close to freezing under clear skies at times, with the temperature at the summit as low as 0˚C, feeling as low as -10˚C.

The forecast suggests that any new snow is unlikely, but although a hard freeze is unlikely, frost or even some freezing is possible in sheltered areas under clear skies overnight. There is also a suggestion that the overnight temperature will be colder again over the weekend, and although not likely to significantly affect walking the paths before the next report it will be worth keeping an eye on the latest forecasts in case this more icy trend affects conditions sooner than expected at the moment.
