MWIS Inversion Hunters Workshop
Fort William Mountain Festival - Explorer Event - Classroom session
The 'cloud inversion' arguably provides the most spectacular of mountain experiences - those magical days when you emerge above the fog onto sunlit uplands, with neighbouring summits appearing like islands out of the misty ocean below.
In this classroom-based tutorial, we'll explore the science behind inversions, digging deep into the weather scenarios required to produce them, discussing the challenges we face when trying to predict the behaviour of clouds! We'll also look at spectres and glories plus local wind curiosities in the mountain microclimate.
All aimed at helping you understand the weather better, to plan ahead and maximise your chance of enjoying these wonderful days on the hills.
