Almscliff Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Almscliff has had four consecutive dry days since the heavy 24.5mm deluge on May 3rd, with moderate temperatures and reasonable wind, but the exposed hilltop S/W aspect has aided drying. The rock surface should be largely dry on south-facing sections, but internal moisture from that significant rainfall event may linger — a visual and tactile check on arrival is essential before committing to climb. |

Earl Crag
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The last significant rain was 17mm on May 3rd, followed by three full dry days (May 4–6) with moderate temperatures and reasonable winds, giving a plausible but not fully confident drying window. Today is dry through the afternoon with dropping humidity, but light rain arrived on May 1–2 before the heavy May 3rd event, meaning the rock was already saturated going into that downpour — and the forecast shows more rain arriving tomorrow, so any climbing window is narrow. |

Trollers Gill
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The gorge has had three dry days (May 4–6) following a significant 18mm deluge on May 3, but the sheltered, enclosed nature of Trollers Gill means drying is slow, and today's light rain plus high overnight humidity add uncertainty. A dry window exists this afternoon (roughly 10:00–21:00) with humidity dropping to the low 60s, but climbers should visually check holds for residual seepage before committing. |

Shipley Glen
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Heavy rain on May 3rd (19.1mm) followed by only limited drying in a sheltered, north-facing woodland setting means the rock is very likely still holding internal moisture. With further rain forecast from tomorrow onwards, conditions are not expected to improve this week. |

Crookrise
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Despite three dry days (May 4–6) following the heavy 19.2mm deluge on May 3rd, today's light precipitation and persistently high humidity mean the rock has not had adequate drying time. The forecast shows rain on each of the next five days, so conditions are unlikely to improve soon. |

Ilkley (Cow and Calf)
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Despite a few dry days earlier this week, heavy rain on May 3rd (17.1mm) followed by light rain on May 4th and today (May 7th), combined with high average humidity (78%), means the gritstone is unlikely to be fully dry internally. With 11.4mm of rain forecast tomorrow, conditions are set to deteriorate further. |

Spofforth Pinnacles
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
A very heavy 30.1mm downpour on May 3rd saturated the rock only 4 days ago, and despite 2 full dry days since the last trace precipitation (May 5th, 0.2mm), drying conditions have been only moderate — cool temperatures (~10°C), middling humidity (~70–75%), and light-to-moderate winds. The freestanding blocks may have dried somewhat faster than a typical cliff face, but internal moisture from the heavy soaking is very likely still present in the gritstone. |

Brimham Rocks
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
The heavy 27.7mm rainfall on May 3rd was followed by only a few days of modest drying conditions, with light precipitation on May 4th and today (May 7th), and the rock is very likely still holding significant internal moisture. With further rain forecast over the next several days, conditions are not suitable for climbing on gritstone. |

Caley Crags
Yorkshire
Today
|
|||||
|
Heavy rain on May 3rd (18.1mm) followed by only 3–4 days of modest drying on a NW-facing, woodland-sheltered crag means the rock is very likely still holding significant internal moisture. With further rain forecast from tomorrow onwards, conditions are not expected to improve this week. |
