Conditions
No significant snow was seen on the mountain today. There were a few patches of hard old snow on the mountain, but they did not cover the path, and it was easy enough to avoid them when walking the path.

A cloudy and windy morning, with brighter intervals towards the middle of the day.

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

Carrying an ice axe and some kind of spikes for the feet will give you options to stay safe on the mountain if snow or ice develop into the start of the week (see Additional Information below).

Additional Information
On the Friday of the report, the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will remain several degrees above freezing over the weekend, but will drop closer to freezing from Monday afternoon onwards. It will continue to feel very cold on the mountain feeling like 0˚C even when the actual temperature is 7˚C.

On the day of the report any wintry conditions look unlikely for the weekend, but as temperatures drop at the start of the week there is a greater possibility of more wintry conditions developing. It is therefore important to keep an eye on the latest forecasts, and prepare for snow or ice if this looks likely from the forecasts closer to the time.
