What forecast are you using, that's exactly what was predicted?
Stick to the Met Office.

Whilst I use yr.no for other mountain areas I think it’s overly optimistic for the Peak.
Drizzly and dank looking at Burbage not as forecast. Again. Driving on to the Tor instead

What page do you use to look at the Synoptics? I know you can see the fronts on the met office vids but sure there must be a better resource.
For example, a 70% chance of rain represents a 7 in 10 chance that precipitation will fall at some point during that period.
This seems to be happening every weekend at the moment, I'm at the crag it's raining and metoffice is telling me it's 5 to 10% chance of rain.
I’ve always taken the 10% as it being likely to rain for 10% of that period, rather than a 10% chance of it raining.
