What is the weather like on ben nevis in august?
The weather conditions can be atrocious at any time of the year. During the summer months the weather can change with alarming speed and a sunny day out can quickly become a confused and disorientated struggle for survival. In anything other than stable and fine weather, you should not attempt the ascent unless:- 1 You have full waterproof clothing i.e. jacket and trousers. 2 You have warm clothing – top and bottom. 3 You have a warm hat and gloves or mitts. 4 You have substantial boots. 5 You have a map (scale at least 1:50,000 and preferably 1:25,000). 6 You have a compass. 7 You know you have the ability to navigate accurately in mist and cloud under difficult conditions.
