This page answers the question people search for most: "tryfan weather today". It covers the specific kit, timing, and weather thresholds for Tryfan at 595m, not generic mountain advice.
For live conditions right now — summit wind, rain, cloudbase, freezing level — go to the main Tryfan weather page. It updates every hour from a 7-model weather ensemble.
Use the live summit forecast on the hillandglen.com Tryfan page — it pulls from 7 weather models blended into our HILLANDGLEN ensemble and shows hourly wind, rain, cloudbase, freezing level and wind chill at 595m. Check it within 2 hours of setting out.
Check the peak gust forecast on hillandglen.com for Tryfan. Below 25 mph is comfortable, 40 mph is tough, over 60 mph gusts make summit exposure dangerous. The forecast applies lapse-rate and exposure adjustments so what you see is the actual summit figure.
Check the cloudbase on the Tryfan forecast. If cloudbase is below 595m, you'll be in mist at the summit. If it's above, you should get views. Cloud can drop quickly as a front moves through — keep an eye on the hourly.
If you have flexibility, check the 14-day forecast on hillandglen.com and pick the best window. Signs of a good day: cloudbase above summit, gusts under 40 mph, rain risk under 40%, and freezing level appropriate for your kit. All four are easy to read on the card.
