Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A cooler feel to things across the park on Thursday compared to recent days, although UV protection still required, especially through the afternoon and early evening. Low cloud may also lead to some challenging conditions across the higher peaks early on.
Weather
Overnight low cloud will slowly move south-eastwards across the park with some mist in places, lifting through the morning and then breaking into the afternoon to sunny spells. Generally staying dry, perhaps one or two spots of drizzle during the early morning across some higher peaks.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
50% in the early morning, increasing to >95% by early afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Overnight low cloud mostly clearing through by dawn, but some cloud with bases down to around 500m possible across some higher peaks through the early morning, before lifting clear of summits later in the morning. Visibility generally good to very good through the late morning and afternoon, but starting off poor first thing.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
