Do we have 2015 WEATHER Topic yet?
« on: May 21, 2015, 11:49:30 am »
Sorry if this is already posted - Couldn't see anything yet!?

According to Accuweather: - Warm but Cloudy and a few showers.
Can cope with that - not too hot and not too wet. Bring it on.
Baldrick, my Lord! But I can change it to Ploppy if it'll make things easier.

I love these weather forecast threads!  ;D

Until about 48 hours before the race starts, they'll all probably say something different. Quelle surprise!

Plan for the worst, hope for the best  ;)

Watching the weather forecasts is all part of the mounting excitement!

Obviously the only thing it can change is what stuff to pack, but then we always take clothes for all eventualities, especially as we'll be heading over on the Sunday before the race, plenty of chances for different weather patterns in a week!
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

Slightly nearer the circuit than the majority of the brethren, but we have been scraping windscreens this week and I am nearly out of firewood. 14C indoors is not normally expected when one gets up at this time of year!

I leave for the Northern Hemisphere in three days.  What is packed on Wednesday is what is going to LM regardless of any weather forecast.  Wish I had a crystal ball...

I'll be prepared for whatever the weather may throw at us as I will have full sailing wet weather gear with me.   ;D

Ice cold water will be best.  Also, if you could arrange it so the ground is at a 45 degree angle and I'm struggling to stand up straight that would be perfect.  ;D

I'm sure that copious amounts of Cider will help replicate your oceanic angles, we will just need to add the ice and water >:D

Further update in a day or 2
