Over the next 48 hours, Butcher Track sees temperatures from 3°C to 14°C with 1 mm of rain and winds peaking at 4 m/s. Hiking conditions rate fair: It has been raining — around 3 mm in the last 24 hours means wet, muddy tracks despite the clearing forecast. Freezing level sits near 1,662 m, with snow likely above 1,462 m on exposed tops. Fire danger is low — a rough proxy from recent rainfall, humidity and wind, not an official FWI. Around 3 mm has fallen in the last 24 hours, so tracks will be wet regardless of the forecast.
