Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Cloudy with rain at times later, giving widespread hill fog and making for tricky navigation. Winds may be stronger than indicated in the table and gusts may reach over 40mph on highest hills. These strong winds will make for tiring walking conditions and risk of being blown off balance.
Weather
A mostly dry morning with bright or sunny spells. Turning cloudier later in the afternoon as outbreaks of rain spread eastwards, which may be heavy at times, and continue into the evening. Fresh to strong southwesterly winds.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40% and early afternoon, decreasing to nil from late afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Occasional low cloud bases down to 600-700m in the morning, these becoming more widespread from late afternoon and falling to lower slopes in the evening. Visibility good below cloud but poor in cloud and rain.
