Wind: The mapped crag point does not resolve the cliff face, so shelter on the climb is uncertain. Open ground above may be more exposed, with gusts around 30 mph.
Wet or seeping sections are likely; choose another crag or wait for direct observations.

Use it as a starting signal
Granite still needs an on-arrival check.
The forecast combines recent and expected rain with broad drying, humidity, dew and wind signals. The climb and open ground above the crag are treated separately where the mapped face gives useful shelter context.
Haytor and Low Man contain climbing on differently oriented faces. A single crag-wide aspect would be misleading, so wind shelter and direct sun remain deliberately broad. Forecast-grid weather and representative sector geometry only. Check live access information and touch-test the rock before climbing.
Access: Check current landowner and BMC access information, seasonal restrictions and local notices before travelling.
