I'm hoping to get mine on before I leave, but its not looking good for tomorrow and leave in the afternoon.

Tomorrow is a wet day in most parts of the UK I believe, we had rain all day today then the sun came out which just dried the parts of the car I needed with a little help from some paper towel sheets

That doesn’t look too bad.... the sun always shines on Friday... that’s the law, so it’ll brighten up

Well, I hope Accuweather live up to their name, because this is from the weather station at the aerodrome.

Not looking great unlike 2027

BBC now showing no rain after Thursday showers. Waiting for Accu weather to update now.

I have always found BBC to be the most accurate, even more so than airport met offices at times (e.g. for Isle of Man weather)

It seems to have changed by the hour every hour for the last couple of days, possibly due to not knowing which way that big storm was going to dissipate? Anyway, does seem to be picking up at last.

Hail the cat!

Thursday showers now even taken out, last rain reported wednesday.

Looking better as we get closer. Still going to take all the rain gear evidently.

And it raining here now with not one dry day forecast until Wednesday 19th. Indeed, the current forecast is for storms both Saturday and Sunday. Looks like we are in for some interesting racing folks. And while on the subject of Le Mans it was the 24 Hour golf match this weekend, and 'er indoors was playing with this man.

Most charming he was too.

Accuweather forecast from today:

More twists and turns....

BBC forecast is looking a lot more favourable - sunshine/cloud, 21c over Friday, Sat and Sunday
(No rain)

Looking at the Met Office pressure charts things calm down a bit after Thursday with a High building over northern France, looks like Saturday/Sunday temps building and Monday getting warmer. Hopefully the High pushes in quicker for Wednesday and Thursday pre race but who knows oh yes the Cat does

I know -- I was getting a little concerned and the forecasts were testing my faith in the cat, but it looks like its all coming good in the end..

All hail the cat..

For those already at Le Mans. How is the ground looking? Last year it was flooded in places. Are we looking at boggy campsites this year or has the water drained away?
