Scottish Mountain Weather Reports and sportscotland Avalanche Information Service

During winter months MWIS publishes forecasts at 13:30 each day. This is done as an aid to safe decision making for hill walkers and climbers, allowing for earlier forward planning during the winter months. MWIS forecasts will continue to be updated whenever necessary throughout the day, with the 13:30 release being a major update and all others being amendments to the major release. On most days an amendment is made at around 07:30, but it should be noted that other amendments may well take place during the course of the day should changing conditions dictate.
