A hot day with long periods of unbroken sunshine with the elevated risk of dehydration and heat exhaustion. Careful consideration of hydration and sun protection will be required, particularly over the more exposed areas of the park.

Patchy high cloud through the afternoon leading to hazy sunshine at times but likely to remain dry throughout with only a small risk of rain late in the evening. Light south-easterly winds, becoming fresh and turning westerly late in the day.
