How long does it take the 'ring to dry after a rain shower?

With the weather we've been having recently being quite changeable, I see no reason for that to change by the time I go to the 'ring at the beginning of September. How quick does the circuit dry out or a dry line form after a typical summer shower?

The worst thing is the 3 or 4 different climates you can get on one lap.

When its hammering down the whole way round you know where you are. I did a lap in June where it was bone dry till I can to the fast right at the entrance to Adenaur Forst. It was like someone had drawn a line across the track, one side was dry one side wet ....... You spin me right round baby right round. Ended up on the infield wondering what the hell had just happened. Later that day I was speaking to a friend who had been walking his dog at AF at the time. He said it was like a freak hail storm which came and went in 2 minutes.

As said the line drys pretty quickly, just dont push it till you know places like Bergwerk, Hochiechen and Hohe Acht are dry.

I think this is what scares me most. On my previous two vists it's either been bone dry all the way round or absolutely soaking all the way round with no semblance of dry line.

I guess as mentioned if you know the weather has been variable and it's dry at the entrance you still have to be super vigilant.
