This is a great weather link, the forecast for the race weekend has changed daily, I'm taking shorts & tee-shirts, wet weather gear, skis and snow suit and my scuba gear just to be sure.

Should cover it unless you can think of something else!

NBC suit in case to toilets overflow?

It looks more or less OK now, apart from the fact that we will drown on Sunday.

[ellroy]

I love the AcuWeather descriptor for Saturday: 'Sunshine and delightful'.

I've arrived at the conclusion that there will indeed be weather at Le Mans this year!

In fairness, other than Sunday - which looks a bit st, every other day looks promising - Saturday looks great!

Safe journey down everyone - and be sure to honk a horn if you pass my E21 on the way down - so I can drop a cog and give you some old scroll straight 6 notes

Looks ok-ish, apart from the thunderstorms - according to Meteo France;

Looking at various sites, feeling a tad more optimistic it won't be a total wash out. There's nothing anyone can do to change it, it's just a pain packing extra wet weather gear, just in case.

I'm fairly happy with this to be honest, especially remembering the forecast of a few days ago.
I can accept rain if it's hot, not when it's cold!

[anonymous-user]

Yellow warning out for Thursday pm/night for thunderstorms but after that looks like
good temps with occasional thunder storms until Sunday then showers. But not that bad
enjoy the race all and whatever the weather have fun.



PS Saturday looks like a corker get the Hawaiian Tropic out

I confirm we have race weather. It hisseth here 5 miles from the circuit.

[School boy]

Hope it clears up later and doesn't ruin CBW

[davidd]

Massive storms last night, pissing down now.

[gruffalo]

Accuweather says it will clear up with a nice sunny day tomorrow and mixed cloud and sun for Sunday, only a 5% chance of rain on both days.

[Thorney]

currently chucking it down.

[pincher]

Sun's out!

Well the thunderstorm Thursday night was mighty, enough to wash the dead flies off the car and the headlamp beam deflectors.

Saturday was scorching. Does anyone know what C it peaked at during the day?

[Some Gump]

Sat mullered me big time - but on th plus side, an early kip meant i did 9pm - 7.30 am trackside.

Le mans by day is brilliant, but even better at night. Corvettes still sound the same, but far less crowd and arnage / indi were just brilliant.

That storm on thurs was also ace - we were dead lucky and managed to hold our gazebo down as a team. Plenty others' simply folded in half

Trawling through the hourly classifications on the ACO site gives an air temperature about 24 degrees after the third hour and track temperature 32 degrees.

With the humidity Thursday afternoon before the overnight storm felt much hotter. I resorted to putting the hood up and turning on the AC.

[Some Gump]

Felt a lot, lot hotter at terte rought than 24 degrees. No wind, blistering sun and no shade whatsoever!
