The combination of low cloud and some persistent rain and drizzle will bring a significantly colder feel at height despite the generally mild temperatures and moderate winds. Poor visibility likely at height through the day, care needed with navigation.

Widely poor in extensive cloud down to 300 to 600 metres, although this locally more broken up across the far west of the Park in the lee of some of the higher ground.
