Conditions
No significant snow was seen on the mountain anywhere today. There were some minimal bits near the summit, but they were not enough to cause any difficulty whatsoever.

New snow or ice remains possible this week (see 'Additional Information' below).

A cloudy day with a strong breeze, becoming sunnier in the afternoon.

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

Carrying snow goggles (such as ski goggles) will protect the eyes from cold winds and wind driven snow, making it easier to see in order to travel more safely on the mountain.

Carrying an ice axe and some form of crampons will give options to stay safe on the mountain if snow or ice develops (see below).

Additional information
On the Tuesday of the report, the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will be below freezing through Wednesday and into Thursday morning, but that it will be close to, or above freezing after this. Temperatures on the summit are forecast to be as low as -3˚C on Wednesday (feeling as low as -12˚C). Even when the temperature is above freezing it can still feel very cold.

With temperatures forecast to be below freezing on the summit, and showers at times, some snow or ice may develop on Wednesday. If this happens, any snow that takes hold is likely to continue on the mountain into at least Thursday, and possibly until the next report on Friday.
