Mild, windy and mainly dry
27th January 2024
The freezing level was just above the highest summits today and there were Gale force South-Westerly winds. Yesterdays fresh snow has mostly melted at lower elevations and what remains higher up is wet and consolidating.
Cornice collapse and falling ice and rocks are probably the main problems at the moment. Tomorrow is forecast to be even warmer and windier.

Cornices remain, in this case above Coire a’ Chriochairein, and are prone to collapse in the mild conditions this weekend.
The Window. The 2 walkers are below the debris from last nights avalanche with older debris visible on either side.
