Ok...
Planned for three months to head to araps but the weather from the bom.gov looks a little dodgy...
Any locals willing to cast an eye over the weather forecasts and let me know what you think from this Saturday for a week.
At present shower or two and some showers with occasional showers doesn't sound like a fun week..
Cheers Rick

It doesn't look too bad but it's pot luck really. You should be able to climb most days but probably late starts to the day. A shower or two sometimes ends up with no showers, other times just light pricking drizzle for most of the day.

Hope you decided not to come. The weather is a little moist and chilly.

Hey Keiran we decided it was all to risky and went to the blue mts instead not sure if it was the best idea as I pulled a hold off and landed bad on my ankle.
The good news is they are saying snow to 900 mtrs tomorrow so I won't feel bad if I miss a day.
Thanks for help but I still think the araps is a hoax as so far its been hotter than hell or it just rains...
So I don't really understand all the fuss
Cheers Rick

There's going to be some nice cool southerly winds and probably showers for the next 2-3 days. If that big high pressure that's approaching Perth turns up later in the week there might be nice clear days but cold nights (perfect for that campfire if you can still do that sort of stuff, if not just download the App and sit around your mobile). Once the high passes there should be warmer northerly winds and stable weather, but then, it is Victoria... Take a bottle of rum, you'll be right for any kind of weather then.
