Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Occasionally breezy and gusty on the tops, balance may be affected at times. Medium UV levels where the sun breaks through so suitable protection may be needed.
Weather
Cloud will thicken during the morning with frontal rain moving northwards through the park during the morning. Some breaks in the cloud will develop but showers quickly follow, some of which may be heavy or even thundery at times. Conditions become more settled into the evening as showers easy and clear the park.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Summits clear through the parts of the day with the cloud layer largely staying above the tops, but there will be quite extensive low cloud down to 300-500m in precipitation- or some areas of valley fog - in the early morning, lifting and breaking by mid-morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Visibilities largely good but will temporarily fall moderate or perhaps even poor as any showers pass through.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
