Sunday: Cloudy and damp, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, especially during the afternoon. Milder temperatures, but with a strengthening southwesterly wind.
Monday: Mainly fair, although thickening cloud may bring rain to the Park late in the day. Quite warm when the sun's out, but with a fairly strong southwesterly wind blowing.
