Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Great day to be in the national park with plenty of dry and bright weather. Low cloud or mist and fog may make navigation challenging at first but quickly improving. UV levels will be high with appropriate sun protection needed. Warm temperatures are also expected, with sufficient hydration also required.
Weather
Some patchy low cloud mainly to the north of the park initially, as well as some isolated mist or fog in valleys. Mist and fog quickly clearing with cloud gradually lifting through the morning to leave another dry and fine day ahead with clear skies initially then variable cloud around at times through the afternoon. Light to moderate northerly winds throughout.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80% rising to >95%
Low cloud and visibility
Cloud initially above 300-500m, mainly to the north of the park, as well as some patchy mist and fog in valleys. This will limit visibilities at low levels and highest peaks initially. Mist and fog quickly clearing with low level cloud slowly lifting and breaking to leave very good visibilities with views of distant peak possible.
