|
The rock has had roughly 36 hours of dry weather since the last light rain on April 18 (0.3mm), but the preceding weeks have been persistently wet with 80mm in 28 days, and today's forecast includes 0.6mm of precipitation. While the south-facing, exposed aspect aids drying, the cumulative moisture loading and today's light rain mean internal dampness is likely — a visual assessment on arrival is essential, but caution is warranted. |

Spofforth Pinnacles
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The rock had two full dry days (April 18–19) with decent temperatures and low humidity after light rain on April 17, but today (April 20) brings another 1mm of rain and elevated humidity, resetting the drying clock. The S/W aspect and freestanding nature of the pinnacles aid drying, but the pattern of frequent light showers throughout April means the rock has rarely had a sustained dry-out period. |

Almscliff Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Today has seen 3.1mm of rain on top of a persistently wet spring pattern (48.6mm in 28 days with frequent small wettings), meaning the rock is currently wet and should not be climbed. However, a promising dry spell of at least 5 days is forecast from tomorrow. |

Brimham Rocks
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Despite a good drying day on April 19th, the rock has been subjected to persistent, frequent rainfall throughout the past month (65.6mm over 28 days with very few consecutive dry days), and today (April 20th) brings another 1.3mm of rain. The cumulative moisture loading on this porous gritstone, combined with high average humidity (79%) and moderate temperatures, means internal moisture levels are likely still elevated even where surfaces appear dry. |

Caley Crags
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Today's 2.4mm of rain on already-moist gritstone at a NW-facing, woodland-sheltered crag means the rock is almost certainly too wet to climb safely. The persistent pattern of frequent light rain over recent weeks has kept the rock's internal moisture levels elevated, and NE winds today offer little drying benefit to this NW-facing venue. |

Ilkley (Cow and Calf)
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Today's 3.5mm of rain on top of a persistently wet spring pattern means the gritstone is almost certainly still holding moisture internally. Despite a good drying day yesterday (April 19th), the cumulative 74mm over 28 days with frequent topping-up showers means the rock has had no sustained opportunity to dry out properly. |

Trollers Gill
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Despite a dry day yesterday (April 19), today has already seen 2.3mm of rain on top of a very wet recent period (20.9mm in 7 days, 96.3mm in 28 days). The enclosed gorge at Trollers Gill will be holding significant residual moisture and today's rain will have refreshed damp surfaces — limestone here will be greasy and seepage is likely. |

Earl Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Earl Crag is receiving 7mm of rain today following an extremely wet period — 120mm over the past 28 days with rain on most days. The rock will be thoroughly saturated internally and conditions are clearly unsuitable for climbing today. |

Shipley Glen
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Today has seen 5.2mm of rain on top of an already very wet preceding fortnight (73mm in 28 days), and the sheltered, north-facing woodland setting at Shipley Glen means the rock will be thoroughly wet. Climbing today would risk both hold damage and climber injury on this porous gritstone. |
