Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Navigation conditions will deteriorate later in the day, with waterproofs potentially becoming soaked and slippery ground underfoot.
Weather
Dry but fairly cloudy at first, with cloud thickening during the early hours to bring a few isolated outbreaks of rain and showers around dawn. Little change through the morning, before showers become more organised and heavier in the afternoon, possibly merging into longer spells of rain later. A rumble of thunder is possible. Showers will gradually ease and clear eastwards during the evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
90% initially, reducing to 60-80% late afternoon.
Low cloud and visibility
Very good across much of the Park but locally poor in the northwest, due to patchy low cloud as low as 600m. Deteriorating quickly in any rain, particularly in the afternoon, with an increasing risk of low cloud developing in the west and as low as 700m, perhaps 500m in places. Visibility becoming poor to very poor.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.
