Ground Conditions

Reported on Tuesday, April 28, 2026

Time: At the summit around 1200
Snow above: no snow observed
Route taken: miners' path, PyG path
Next report: early winter 2026-27

Conditions
No snow or ice once again today for the final Wyddfa ground conditions report of the reporting season.

A cloudy and grey day, with a cold wind, but mostly dry despite a few spots of rain in the morning. Lifting gradually in the afternoon.

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

Additional Information
On the final Tuesday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature on the summit will remain just above freezing in the coming days. Despite this the temperature is forecast to be cold at times, with the temperature at the summit as low as 1ºC (feeling like it is as low as -8ºC).

Although thoughts now turn towards summer, and the likelihood of winter conditions is diminishing it is still just as important to keep an eye on the latest forecasts to make suitable decisions about traveling on the mountain. With temperatures very close to freezing at times in the coming week, the possibility of more wintry periods has not completely disappeared either, even with some warmer periods forecast too.

Once again wishing everyone a lazy hazy sunny summer full of mountains, and a few adventures, and I hope to see you again next winter!
