Caley Crags has had 7 consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and moderate humidity, following only trace amounts of rain — conditions are genuinely dry. The recent hot spell (up to 33°C) with humidity averaging 62% and consistent westerly winds will have thoroughly dried even this NW-facing woodland venue.
Based on weather conditions only — does not cover bird nesting restrictions or other access issues.
