Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Likely a wet day on the slopes with waterproofs likely becoming soaked in the heavier bursts. Be aware of navigation issues in the low cloud.
Weather
Perhaps a dry start, but cloud building through the small hours with outbreaks of rain arriving through the morning which may be heavy at times and perhaps persistent over a few hours with a low risk of thunder associated with the heaviest pulses. Best of any dry weather to the east and south of the park.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
20% to the west, 50% to the east
Low cloud and visibility
Cloud around 500-600 m will thicken through the morning and persist for much of the day, perhaps slightly lower in the west and higher with a few breaks in the east. Visibility generally moderate or poor in rain, or very poor in cloud.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
Weather
A band of rain may lie over, or just to the northwest of, the park, although confidence in its exact position remains fairly low at this stage. Should the rain band lie over the park, outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, could persist for much of the day. If it remains to the northwest, fairly dry conditions will prevail with sunny spells. At present, it is more likely that the rain band will stay further to the northwest, with drier and brighter conditions across the park, but with rain more likely into the evening as the band of rain edges east.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40% rising to 60% through the day
Maximum wind speed expected
Southwesterly 20mph with gusts of 25-30mph.
Temperature
- At 600m Plus 12 Celsius rising to Plus 19 Celsius.
- Valley Plus 14 Celsius rising to Plus 21 Celsius.
- Freezing level Above all summits.
Low cloud and visibility
Broken cloud may linger around 500 metres at first during the morning, but likely lifting above all summits during the afternoon. Cloud may be lower if rain band lies over the park. Visibility generally good or very good, but poor in any outbreaks of rain and very poor within any cloud.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
Mountain weather information
