Title: LM 2016 Weather

My favourite weather app (not British) is now showing the forecast for the week leading up to race day, so I reckon that it's time to start the perennial "when will it rain" thread?

Just shows how optimistic that site is! Thursday was dry, the weekend showery but then supposedly my seaweed tells me that it gets better. If not those on Beausejour are advised to only bring a 4x4, wear waders and have floating tents. Last weekend we had 100 mm in three hours, or one month's worth but it carried on raining for days. Blue and MB are sandy so drain but Annexe and BSJ clay based.

Didn't the ACO do a lot of drainage work on BSJ a few years back not sure it worked but fingers crossed

Not as much as needed I feel. It was about 2008 when the tunnels at the circuit were 8 ft deep I seem to remember and it was as bad last weekend if not worse. Whatever, the grass must be a yard high and they won't cut it until the Monday of the race if things are as usual.

Flip Flops and wellies again. I always bring my snow chain in case of thick mud.
