Visibility may be poor over 300m, Met Office says
Anyone planning a bank holiday walk in the mountains is being warned that poor visibility could be an issue.
What they call ‘Mountain weather hazards’, they warn, ‘apply at or above 300m, reflecting the more severe conditions which can occur at altitude’.The two mountains most people can access relatively easily from Newcastle - Slieve Donard or Commeadgh - are both well over 300 with Donard 750m tall. “These conditions require good navigational skills. There is a risk of white-out conditions when mist or fog is combined with extensive snow cover.”
