Meteorologist's View
Note the strengthening winds in the late afternoon and evening will give difficult walking conditions with a risk of being blown off balance. Navigation could be challenging with energy output significantly increased when walking into the wind
Summary
Mostly dry but largely cloudy in the morning, very small chance of the odd spot of drizzle. Some hazy brightness or sunshine in the afternoon but again the chance of the odd spot of light rain. Clouding over from the west in the evening with heavier bursts of rain at times and strengthening winds spreads across the park, with a chance of summit gales later in the evening.
