Quayfoot Buttress
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Yesterday's rain (7.3mm, last falling around 10am on 12th April) was followed by a dry afternoon and overnight period with moderate winds on a south-facing crag. The rock surface is likely mostly dry by this afternoon, but the sheltered position, tree canopy drips, and a very wet preceding fortnight warrant on-site verification before committing to climb. |

Shepherd's Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Shepherd's Crag has had roughly 18 hours of dry weather following 7.3mm of rain on April 12th, itself part of a very wet spell (nearly 200mm in 28 days). The south-facing aspect and moderate wind will have aided surface drying on the main buttresses, but given the saturated ground and recent heavy rain, seepage areas and shaded sections may still be damp — a visual check on arrival is essential. |

Dow Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Dow Crag has been battered by persistent wet weather over the past two weeks — 210mm in 28 days with significant rain on April 3–4 (39mm), April 11 (15mm), and April 12 (5mm). Although today shows only trace precipitation, the crag has had virtually no meaningful drying window at 600m altitude, and seepage lines will be running extensively; conditions are unsuitable for climbing. |

Castle Rock of Triermain
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Castle Rock has been subjected to an extremely wet period — 51.7mm on April 11 followed by 11.4mm on April 12 — with only a trace-dry day today; the crag is almost certainly still damp, especially on seepage-prone north crag sections. With more rain forecast from tomorrow, conditions are not expected to improve this week. |

Raven Crag, Langdale
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Raven Crag received 9.6mm of rain yesterday (April 12) with the last light showers ending late evening, and today is the first dry day following a prolonged wet spell totalling nearly 300mm over the past 28 days. While the south-facing volcanic rock can dry relatively quickly, only one dry day with moderate temperatures and limited wind is insufficient to confidently clear surface moisture and seepage lines — especially given the saturated ground conditions. |

Scout Crag
Lake District
Today
|
|||||
|
Scout Crag received nearly 10mm of rain yesterday (April 12) with the last showers falling late in the evening, and today has seen only negligible drying so far with minimal precipitation (0.1mm) but high humidity. While the south-facing BVS rock is non-porous and dries relatively quickly, tree drip from above and the very recent rain mean surfaces are likely still damp, and further heavy rain is forecast from tomorrow. |
