After a very wet fortnight (nearly 200mm in 28 days), Quayfoot has had two dry days (June 14–15) followed by light drizzle today. The south-facing, non-porous BVS rock at this low-altitude crag dries quickly, so the main faces may be dry during the mid-morning to mid-afternoon window today, but high humidity (80%+) and 100% cloud cover will slow surface drying and the tree canopy above may still be dripping. A visual check on arrival is essential.

After a very wet period (nearly 200mm in 28 days), Shepherd's Crag has had two dry days (June 14–15) and a mostly dry morning today, but high humidity, full cloud cover, and light rain returning this afternoon limit drying. The south-facing aspect and non-porous BVS rock mean the main faces may have surface-dried enough for a midday window, but seepage-prone areas and sheltered sections will still be damp.

Raven Crag has been subjected to a prolonged wet spell with nearly 242mm of rain in the last 28 days and further rain today and throughout the coming week; the rock is almost certainly damp and seepage lines will be running. Despite a brief dry window mid-afternoon today, persistent 100% cloud cover, near-saturation humidity, and ongoing drizzle mean reliable friction cannot be expected.

Scout Crag has been subjected to a prolonged wet spell with over 220mm in the last 28 days and rain again today; although there is a brief drier window mid-afternoon, high humidity and persistent cloud cover mean the rock is unlikely to dry adequately. The forecast shows further heavy rain arriving tomorrow and through the week, making genuinely dry conditions improbable until at least June 22nd.

Caseg Fraith is currently saturated after a prolonged wet spell — nearly 160mm over the last 28 days with significant rain today (7.1mm) and no meaningful dry window ahead. The rock will be wet and slippery, and the entire five-day forecast shows continued rainfall with high humidity, making dry conditions extremely unlikely.

The Cromlech Boulders are currently wet and conditions are unsuitable for climbing. A prolonged spell of heavy rain over the past two weeks (125.8mm in 28 days), rain today with more heavy rain forecast through the week, and near-saturated humidity levels mean the rhyolite surfaces will be slippery and dangerous.

Dow Crag is saturated after an extremely wet fortnight (over 240mm in 28 days) with rain today and more forecast through the week. The crag will be streaming with seepage, humidity is near 100%, and there is no meaningful drying window in sight.

The RAC Boulders are currently wet and conditions are unsuitable for climbing. An extended period of heavy rainfall (over 40mm in the last 7 days, 160mm in the last 28 days), ongoing rain today with 8.7mm forecast, and near-100% humidity throughout mean the rock will be saturated on the surface with no drying opportunity. The forecast shows continuous rain for at least the next 5 days.

The rock is wet today following 6.1mm of rain and will remain so, with heavy rain forecast through the next four days totalling nearly 90mm. Despite rhyolite's non-porous nature, the sustained saturation and near-100% humidity mean surfaces will not dry out meaningfully this week.

Sheep Pen Boulders are currently wet and unsuitable for climbing. A prolonged spell of heavy rain over the past two weeks (110mm in 28 days), rain today, and a very wet forecast through to June 21st mean the rock will remain wet or damp with no meaningful drying window in sight.
