Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Some poor visibility to start the day on the hills, requiring good navigation skills.
Weather
A cloudy start with outbreaks of rain and drizzle moving across the park. Cloud generally lifting through the morning, with a few breaks developing in the afternoon to allow for a few sunny or brighter spells in the afternoon and evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
10% initially, rising to 50% by midday, then 80% through the afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Low cloud down to 400 metres at first, perhaps down to 300 metres on western slopes. Cloud slowly lifting through the morning to clear all tops during the afternoon. Visibility moderate or poor in rain or drizzle and very poor within cloud, otherwise good.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
Weather
A band of rain may lie over, or just to the northwest of, the park, although confidence in its exact position remains fairly low at this stage. Should the rain band lie over the park, outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, could persist for much of the day. If it remains to the northwest, fairly dry conditions will prevail with sunny spells. At present, it is more likely that the rain band will stay further to the northwest, with drier and brighter conditions across the park the more probable outcome. Warm and feeling humid.

60%
Maximum wind speed expected
Southwesterly 15mph with gusts of 25-28mph.
Temperature
- At 600m Plus 13 Celsius rising to Plus 20 Celsius
- Valley Plus 12 Celsius rising to Plus 23 Celsius
- Freezing level Above all summits.
Low cloud and visibility
Broken cloud may linger around 500 metres at first during the morning, but likely lifting above all summits during the afternoon. Cloud may be lower if rain band lies over the park. Visibility generally good or very good, but poor in any outbreaks of rain and very poor within any cloud.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
