Meteorologist's view
Gusty strong winds will make for fairly arduous walking on exposed terrain. Feeling cold in the wind, but Moderate to High UV levels are possible in any sunnier spells, so sun protection should be considered.
Weather
Dry with clear spells in the early hours. However, cloud thickening towards dawn, with isolated showers developing, mainly in the northwest of the Park. Showers tending to ease as the day goes on, and brightening up, with some sunny spells developing. Gusty strong winds, especially over and to the lee of high ground.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% becoming 100% by mid-morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Patches of cloud with base 500-600m developing overnight, lifting above the hilltops by mid-morning. Visibility mostly very good, but moderate in any showers and very poor in any low cloud covering the hills.
Ground conditions
