Conditions
There was very little snow on the mountain again today, with only very scattered patches to be seen in some places, but without affecting walking the paths at all.

A fine day with light winds, clouding towards the end of the day.

Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).

Carrying microspikes will offer safer options on the mountain. The need for such equipment will be unlikely at first, but may possibly return before the next report, and carrying them just in case would avoid being caught out.

Additional Information
On  the Tuesday of the report the forecast suggests the temperature at the summit will be above freezing to begin with, falling below freezing again before the next report on Friday. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -2ºC (feeling like it is as low as -10ºC at times).

Precipitation is predicted as it the temperature drops on Thursday night and into Friday morning, with snow possible higher on the mountain.

This means that any snow or ice is very unlikely to begin with, but possible late Thursday and overnight into Friday. Even if snow does not develop, it could be cold enough to freeze higher on the mountain on Thursday night.
