About
hillandglen.com provides free weather forecasts built specifically for people who spend time in the UK and Irish hills — hillwalkers, hill runners, fell runners, climbers, and anyone else who needs to know what's happening above valley level.
Unlike general weather services that forecast for towns and cities, we calculate summit-specific conditions for over 20,000 hills: estimated wind chill, freezing level, cloud base, and visibility at altitude. These are forecasts, not measurements — always use your own judgement on the hills.
What we offer
- Summit conditions for every classified hill in Britain and Ireland — Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds, Wainwrights, Marilyns, and more
- Estimated summit wind chill, freezing level, cloud base, and visibility
- 24-hour and 14-day forecasts with interactive charts
- 14-day temperature, wind, and rain trend graphs
- "Best day in the next 7 days" recommendation
- Live rain radar
- Multi-model weather comparison (GFS, ECMWF, Met Office, DWD)
- Aurora, air quality, and pollen forecasts
The data
Weather data comes from Open-Meteo, with radar imagery from RainViewer and aurora data from NOAA Space Weather. Hill data is sourced from the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH), which catalogues over 20,000 hills with classifications, heights, grid references, and Gaelic names.
Who built this
hillandglen.com is built by Shug — a hill runner from central Scotland. It started because the existing weather services don't give outdoor people what they actually need. When you're planning a run up a Munro, you need summit wind chill, not what it's doing in the nearest town.
It's free and always will be. No account required, no tracking, no paywalls.
If you find it useful, tell someone. If you find a problem, let us know.
