The last significant rain was 7.2mm on May 3rd, followed by three mostly dry days with moderate temperatures — the south aspect and partial wind exposure have aided drying, but scattered trace precipitation (0.4mm on May 5th, 0.2mm today) and average humidity around 75% mean internal moisture may linger. Conditions are borderline and a careful on-site assessment is essential before committing to climb today, with rain forecast from tomorrow making the coming days unsuitable.

The last significant rain was 1.3mm on May 5th, with a dry day on May 6th and today (May 7th) dry through the afternoon — giving roughly 36–48 hours of drying since the last light rain. However, 7.2mm fell on May 3rd (4 days ago) and the sheltered woodland setting slows drying considerably, so internal moisture may linger; a careful on-site assessment is essential before climbing this afternoon.

The last significant rain was 11.4mm on May 3rd, followed by only one full dry day (May 4th and 6th) interspersed with 2.3mm on May 5th and trace precipitation today. While the SW aspect and moderate wind have aided drying, the combination of heavy recent rainfall, cool temperatures, and high average humidity means internal moisture is likely still present — conditions require careful on-site assessment before committing to climb.

Shaftoe has had a very wet spring with 16.3mm of heavy rain on May 3rd followed by only three mostly dry days and minor precipitation today; the exposed south-facing aspect and moderate wind have aided drying, but scattered boulders will be in mixed condition. With rain forecast tomorrow and heavy rain on May 9th, today's afternoon window may be the best opportunity — but individual problems must be carefully checked before climbing.
