Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Eastern parts of the Park likely to get better conditions than western parts, although precipitation making the ground wet and slippery underfoot, coupled with strong winds will make moving difficult at times. Note that wind speeds may be stronger than in the table.
Weather
Largely cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the morning, possibly heavy at times. Some breaks in the precipitation during the middle part of the day before further blustery showers and outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, develop later in the afternoon.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20% during the morning across western parts, 50% across eastern parts. Gradually becoming 80% by the afternoon in all areas. Lowering to 40% by late evening.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud with bases obscuring summits above 300-400m, especially across western parts, reducing visibilities significantly in hill fog, rain and drizzle. Eastern parts receiving more shelter from low cloud and hill fog with better visibilities throughout. Cloud bases gradually lifting to above summit heights by late morning or early afternoon with good views of distant hills. Visibility reduced significantly in heavy showers of rain.
