Race week weather ...
« on: June 04, 2018, 09:36:21 am »
... looks 'changeable' at best, a mix of cloud, breeze, light rain and thunderstorms, that doesn't leave too much opportunity for any sunshine!
Sadly and unusually every forecaster predicts the same.
Go placidly amidst the noise and haste....

Just had a look at www.weatheroptimists.com which is suggesting 80 degrees, a delicate breeze, warm evenings and no precipitation during the weekend.
You just have to look at the right forecast!
I tested negative for patience.

Bit early for accurate forecasts at the moment, but Weatherpro shows sh*t Monday ( guess when I'm arriving and setting up! ).
80% chance of showers Tuesday.
45% chance showers Wednesday.
Dry rest of week.
Temps in the 21 to 23 range daytime, 13 to 16 at night.

Yes, as you say, too early for anything approaching accuracy.

Good luck on Monday, tho....... :o

Think I'll need it, beer or cider while raining, set up in between.
Might have to finish setting up Tuesday due to over refreshment!

There as been quite a lot of rain on and off locally since sunday evening,  I doubt the campsites will be bone dry next week....  But the sun is trying to come out as I type this approx. 20 mins west of the circuit  ;D
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?

As long as the weather is warm and the beer cold and not the other way round I really don't care!

Mind you, last year was blistering....bobbing around in our pool (bollox to camping)  ;D



or are we going to get this again:

Long term (ten day) is looking decidedly OK at the moment.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here

Galoshes*. You must remember to pack your galoshes.

I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

I have galoshes and a riding cape.

Perhaps I should bring both?
