Today
Likely Safe

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.

Marginal

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.
