Best time to climb at Meschia Nuova, month by month
Meschia Nuova after rain
Meschia Nuova: sandstone boulders in the forest, in Marche, Italy. The nearest other areas here are Tintorale (35 km), Soriano nel Cimino (109 km) and Sassofortino (187 km).
Is Meschia Nuova dry today?
The answer at the top of this page comes from the German weather service's forecast and how fast sandstone dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.
How long does Meschia Nuova take to dry after rain?
Meschia Nuova is sandstone, which soaks up rain and stays weak inside for a while after the surface looks dry. These times are the model's estimates, tuned on Fontainebleau sandstone and not checked here. After a proper soaking (2 mm of rain or more), sunny, windy boulders need about 18 hours of dry weather, most of the forest about 30 hours, and shaded ones about 42 hours. A light shower needs less. Wind, sun and dry air shorten the wait, and above about 92% humidity the model won't call the rock dry.
Can you climb at Meschia Nuova when the rock is wet?
Wet sandstone breaks. If a hold feels cool or damp, leave it for another day.
