Scout Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Scout Crag has had five consecutive dry days with warm temperatures and a south-facing aspect, meaning the non-porous BVS rock should be thoroughly dry and offering excellent friction. The last meaningful rain (3.3mm on Aug 9) is well behind, and today is dry — conditions are genuinely good for climbing. |

|
|||||

Raven Crag, Langdale
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Raven Crag has had five consecutive dry days with good sun exposure on Aug 11–13 (up to 25°C), and the south-facing volcanic rock will have dried thoroughly. Today's conditions look good for climbing, though humidity is elevated and deterioration is forecast from tomorrow onwards. |

Buckstone How
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Five consecutive dry days with good temperatures, moderate wind, and a south/south-west aspect have allowed the slate surfaces at Buckstone How to dry thoroughly. Conditions today are genuinely dry, though humidity is elevated at 87% so shaded ledges may feel slightly damp. |

Castle Rock of Triermain
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Five consecutive dry days with warming temperatures and moderate wind should have dried the rock surface well, though today's elevated humidity (87%) and the crag's NW aspect mean some sheltered areas may retain dampness. Conditions are likely good but worth checking on arrival, especially on the north crag seepage lines. |

Hodge Close Quarry
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Five consecutive dry days with warming temperatures (up to 26.5°C recently) should have dried the slate surfaces, but today's elevated humidity (83%) and the quarry's notoriously poor air circulation mean some sheltered faces — particularly north-facing — may still harbour residual dampness. A visual check on arrival is strongly advised before committing to routes. |

Dow Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Dow Crag has had a very wet recent period with 72mm in the last 28 days, and today has seen light rain with 91% humidity — the crag is likely damp with active seepage lines. While three dry days earlier this week (Aug 10–13) offered some drying, today's return of moisture and a unsettled forecast through the weekend make conditions unreliable for this high mountain venue. |
