Ground Conditions

Reported on Friday, March 20, 2026

Time: At the summit around 1500
Snow above: no significant snow
Route taken: PyG path
Next report: Tuesday 24-3-26

Path clear 20-3-26

Conditions
Today the path was 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 warm afternoon, with a very light breeze and hazy sunshine.

Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headlamp or two each).

Additional Information
On the Friday 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 Tuesday, with low temperatures overnight, and possibly below freezing at times. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -1ºC (feeling like it is as low as -7ºC at times).

With mild weather with moderate wind over the coming days any snow is unlikely before the next report. Despite this the overnight temperature will be cold enough, 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.

Ice is most likely Sunday night into Monday morning, with a windier and rainier turn by Tuesday, when snow may not be too far away at times as well.
