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.

Low risk of isolated mist or fog patches to begin but this quickly clearing to leave a dry and bright day with plenty of sunshine. Some fair weather cloud possibly developing through the afternoon with high cloud turning sunshine slightly hazy at times. Remaining dry with clear skies overnight.
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.
