Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
The morning may present some challenging navigation conditions, especially across western parts of the Park where some light rain and drizzle may occur. Conditions generally improving by mid to late morning. Sun protection is still advised due to UV-levels remaining Moderate or High despite the cloud.
Weather
Some low cloud during the morning may result in hill fog obscuring the highest summits. Slowly brightening up as the day progresses with a few sunny spells developing by the afternoon. However, high-level cloud will likely result in any sunny spells to be hazy.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
In the morning: 20% across western parts in the morning, 50% across eastern parts. In the afternoon: >95% for all areas.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud possibly obscuring summits above 300-400 m during the morning, especially across western parts of the Park resulting in very poor visibilities in cloud. Eastern parts of the Park more likely seeing some breaks in the low cloud. Gradually improving as the day progresses with low cloud lifting and dissipating by mid-morning with cloud bases expected to be above summits by then resulting in good visibilities. Note that visibilities may reduce in the vicinity and downwind of wildfire due to smoke.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
