What website should I use for predicting the weather at crags?

The weather in Scotland is notoriously hard to predict! Sometimes, choosing the right crag to visit can feel like a guessing game.

To get better crag conditions, here is a super useful tool: climbingforecasts.com

Climbing Forecasts provides UK crag-specific weather and condition forecasts for outdoor climbers. It brings together weather, recent rain, drying signals, wind, daylight, tide, wave and swell information in one place, so climbers do not have to check several different resources before deciding where and when to climb.

Climbing Forecasts combines several data sources for each supported crag, including hourly weather forecasts, recent rain radar, wind, humidity, temperature, daylight, and tide, wave and swell information for coastal areas. It then considers those signals alongside crag details such as rock type, seepage and aspect to estimate whether conditions may be suitable for climbing. The forecast is designed for practical climbing decisions rather than broad regional weather summaries.
