Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Great day to be in the national park with plenty of dry and bright weather. UV levels will be high with appropriate sun protection needed. Warm temperatures are also expected, with sufficient hydration also required.
Weather
Very isolated patches of lower cloud and mist or fog in the valley at first, which will quickly clear. Then follows another dry and bright day, with plenty of sunny spells. Light northerly winds.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
80% rising to >95%
Low cloud and visibility
Low risk of some cloud above 300-500m through the early hours and at first in the morning, as well as isolated mist and fog patches in valleys, this may limit visibilities at low levels initially. Clearing quickly, with any further cloud remaining above the summits. Largely good visibility, with distant hills visible.
