Additional Information
On the Friday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature at the summit will be above freezing throughout the period until the next report on Tuesday. It will tend to be cold overnight, and much warmer during the day. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as 3ºC (feeling like it is as low as -3ºC at times).
With temperatures forecast to be above freezing, and likely dry, any snow or ice seems very unlikely from the forecast on the day of the report. Despite this it could be quite cold overnight with some possibility of frost in some places at times.
Although it seems a little less sunny at times, and cold overnight, the effects of the sun are likely to be the main consideration in the days to come, with plenty of drink, and ways to avoid burning in the sun worth preparing for in advance.
