Certainly no chance of Stanage or Burbage being dry, it's been absolutely lashing down intermittently in Sheffield.
My vain hope for tomorrow is the Tor but I reckon Works is more likely

Just been to higgar tor and the wall with the vice was dry and fairly sheltered. The wall with the rasp was dry but really windy. Bouldering at piss,shit,the arête etc was soaking along with all of stanage and the burbage crags.

do the up problems at eatswood stay dry or just the traverse?

Ten Inch Zombies and Hats for Clowns of most interest.

even the end of the traverse tends to get wet, you can miss it out with deviant beta but its a bit harder this way.

I was there in a huge downpour about a week ago and yeah the up problems seemed to stay dry. The hat problems more so than Ten Inch.

Flatworld  and most of baslow was dry today - anything full in the wind and high will dry quickly.

Any crag likely to be dry in a couple of hours? Got a rare day free, optimistically hoping after a 80 mile journey something will be dry by the time i get to the Peak!

clearing up now in Heeley-upon-Sheaf and plenty of wind - BBC weather and rain radar suggests similar in Eastern Peak soon

it's not impossible that some exposed grit will have dried off before it gets dark - don't go pulling on any flakes though

blocs de Burbage Sud, Chapeau de Mère, La Pierre d'Aigle (faites attention a la piscine dessous) ?
