Zero degrees on the summit of Cairngorm for most of the day.   Gale force winds from the South with drizzle which turned to persistent rain through the afternoon.  Currently the snowpack is soft and thawing at all levels, and travel by ski is still the easiest option above 650 metres.

The brightest part of the day was during the early morning, but it was still stormy in the Cairngorms

Deep soft snowfields at 900m

Great snow loss below 600 metres becoming patchy above 700m.
