Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
An excellent day for any outdoor activities in the national park. Feeling a little cooler than recent days, but still warm in the sunshine and out of the breeze. Sun protection advisable especially during the afternoon.
Weather
A generally dry day, however the odd spot of light rain cannot be ruled out through the morning under thicker cloud. Skies turning brighter through the afternoon with some sunny spells developing.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
70% quickly rising to 90% through the morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Same patchy cloud with bases above 800-900 meters initially may briefly shroud highest peak. Through the afternoon all summits are expected to be free of cloud. Very good or excellent visibilities are expected with views of distant peaks possible but locally very poor in cloud and hill fog.
