MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

As well as CLIFF CAMPING, we provide an array of AMAZING COURSES AND ADVENTURES.

MOUNTAIN WEATHER FORECAST

The Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) produces a detailed mountain weather forecast for the main mountain areas in Scotland, England and Wales.

The Metoffice also produce detailed weather forecasts for 7 main mountain areas across the UK

The accuracy of the mountain weather forecast is improving decade by decade. You should always bear in mind that weather, particularly in mountainous areas, is extremely unpredictable. Even short-term forecasts are unreliable. At best, forecasters are making a statement about the probability of certain weather conditions. Especially where they perceive a likelihood of extreme weather conditions.

So weather forecasts are hugely important to walkers, scramblers, climbers and skiers, and should always be consulted. But can never be taken as the definitive truth. Your own observations of weather conditions on the day should always override even the most confident forecast!

The following areas covered by Metoffice and MWIS are useful to us:

English areas:

Lake District

We always compare at least two weather forecasts, to provide us information and reduce any discrepancies we come across. But please keep in mind, these are only forecasts, although very good nowadays. These are predictions based on historical information, and history does not always repeat itself.

What can I say but this experience was amazing. Kevin was an amazing instructor very knowledgeable and professional. Cannot recommend Rise and Summit enough. He fully understands the mountains and his clients needs. Even with weather issues he was able to come up with routes for each day pushing me to achieve things I didn't think I would be able to do.

We had a great time this weekend! I took my son Jack for a surprise night away & he had no idea what was coming and he certainly never expected to be sleeping on a cliff face in a Hammock ???????? Kev was brilliant very helpful with great communication from start to finish, we felt we were in very safe hands. Highly recommend Rise & Summit for a new experience you will never forget. Thanks so much Kev you get five stars from us.

Absolutely top instructor. Communication before, during and after the course was excellent. Friendly, patient and relaxed style, and really good at pitching the challenge at the right level for the individual. I did the multipitch trad climbing course with Kevin at Avon Gorge and it was a really inspiring experience.

We had a great trad climbing course with Eddy organised by Rise & Summit - two days of intense learning and a lot of fun. The course was well organized and Eddy adopted to our experience and expectations - we learned so much in two days AND climbed two multipitch routes as well.

I booked Kevin for a 3-day private Scottish winter mountaineering course, and I couldn’t have picked a more knowledgeable and professional guide. We learnt at our own pace and tailored the course to our liking. I loved every second of it and I now feel I now have the skills and confidence to take away from this experience to go out the winter mountains on my own in a safe manner.

What an amazing experience both the day and Kevin were brilliant. Felt safe and well looked after in Kevin's capable hands. I looked up and thought that it was too high, but so pleased i did it. Highly recommended!!! Many thanks!

My partner and I did the cliff camping experience with Rise and Summit and it was truly wonderful! Kevin's climing expertise and friendliness has made the day even more special. The food was really nice and a gluten intolerance was catered for. Overall the experience was really worth it!

I would highly recommend Rise and Summit and will certainly be using the company again in the future. If you are looking for a good professional company which is well run and has very knowledgeable staff then look no further and contact Rise and Summit.

Attended a performance course with Kevin and had 2 days of very thoughtful and encouraging coaching that really gave me the push (and a few additional "tricks") I needed to start tackling some harder trad routes (HVS/E1).

We did the SPORT CLIMBING COURSE, with Kevin from Rise and Summit. And we can assure you that the course exceeds our expectations, we not only learned about safety techniques for rock climbing outdoors but also learned some techniques and different ways of dealing with fear while climbing. We felt so lucky to book a course with someone who got a lot of knowledge and passion about climbing and the psychology of climbers.

I recently did the Climbing Psychology Workshop with Rise and Summit, which focuses on fear of falling and how to reprogram your mental habits when lead climbing. I thoroughly recommend the course! It was very informative, tailored on the day to the needs of our small group, and gave me the tools I need to help me keep a clear head when leading harder routes in my projecting grades and to really enjoy doing it. It has really helped me grow as a climber. Our instructor Kevin was extremely professional, personable and is great at his job!
