Crags

The rock had five fully dry days (Aug 21–25) after 8.8mm on Aug 20, which in summer warmth should have allowed reasonable drying, but today's trace precipitation and very high overnight humidity may have re-dampened surfaces. With 22.9mm forecast tomorrow and continued heavy rain through the weekend, today's late afternoon offers the only realistic climbing window before a prolonged wet spell.

The rock has had roughly 4 dry days since the last significant rain on August 20th (7.2mm), but a cluster of wet days from August 16–21 deposited ~15mm in total, and humidity has remained high (79% average over the last week). The south/south-west aspect and exposed position have aided drying, and conditions may be acceptable on upper, well-drained faces this afternoon — but visual assessment is essential before committing, especially with heavy rain arriving tomorrow.

The last significant rain was 6.0mm on August 19th, followed by 2.4mm on August 20th, giving roughly 5–6 dry days before light drizzle (0.7mm) on August 25th and a trace today. The SE/S aspect and moderate winds have aided drying, but humidity has been persistently high (83% average over the past week), and a major storm front (25.9mm) arrives tomorrow, making today the only realistic window — and conditions should be visually verified on arrival.
