At last.... possibly a year of good weather throughout!

[Ekona]

Can I be the first to apologise, as I've just been out and bought a brand-new bottle of sunscreen to use for the week, as well as buying a new water bottle to take actual water around with me so I don't dehydrate. So when it now chucks it down for the week, you can blame me entirely.

Sorry folks

YRNO Predicting 25deg over the weekend & sunny.

[RL17]

Assume its now going to be hotter than earlier forecast as 25 deg in Kent over weekend and weather maps on BBC ITV etc showing hotter over NW quarter of France. Whats it like out there now?

[JimmyLM]

Hot as hell today in Mulsanne! Feels like 30 degrees.

The local forecast, taken from the aerodrome behind Camping Bleu, can be found here:-

http://www.meteofrance.com/previsions-meteo-france...

It is currently, at 12.20, 27C but it will usually get hotter until around 4pm. Possible storms are forecast this afternoon. If so, it's usually nearer 7pm. Rest of the week sunny and rising to 33C on Sunday. Monday, for heaven's sake is currently forecast as 36C but you'll be gone then.

[VladD]

Storms for qualifying? Could be fun.

Radio Le Mans are saying that with the high temperatures this weekend, the "hot race" rules might come in, where instead of drivers being limited to driving 4 hours in a 6 hour period, they are limited to 80 minutes in 3 hours. Air temperature being over 32 degrees is the trigger. That'll really mess with the carefully planned strategies!

Right now, in the grandstand opposite Porsche it is v warm with a pleasantly cool breeze.

[andy_mc]

Nearly 7.30 pm and it's 31 degrees at Porsche Curves with little to no breeze
