Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A brilliant day to be in the national park, however sun protection application and re-application is advised due to very high UV levels. Additionally, the high temperatures may exhaust individuals, especially in the afternoon. Frequent rehydration and taking regular breaks from strenuous activities is advisable. A hat and eye protection should also be considered.
Weather
Odd localised patchy of mist or fog in valley dissipating quickly after dawn. Then staying warm with plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Brisk easterly winds developing through the afternoon, particularly over peaks, this will off some relief from the heat. Although still feeling very warm or locally hot in sheltered locations.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
90% quickly rising to 100%.
Low cloud and visibility
Any early morning mist which may reduce visibilities a touch in valleys should clear swiftly. Fair weather cloud during the rest of the day expected to be above the summits. Excellent visibilities, with views of distant summits, away from the early morning mist and fog.
