Whatever the weather, I have just poked my nose outside. 8C it is, and it isn't going to be more than 12C in the mornings all week, so bring something warm. Or, if you look at the forecast, we could ask the ACO to put the race back a week. 28C then.

it's very cold and wet in the Midlands today.
Le Mans forecast is good from Thursday

For anyone that is there or getting there in the next few days please update us as to how the weather and any local forecasting is.

We are staying in Bleu Nord so any news as to the state of the field would be great.

We are on PH Bleu Nord & other than a bit of “squelch” on the parts where the cars are turning, it’s normally ok even when wet.

PS current Accuweather forecast shows an improved prediction

Discovery or Caterham??? (traveling from lincs via portsmouth?)

[perdu]

The Norwegian weather ap yr.no which is a usually reliable forecast is showing some cloud and sunshine for Thursday brightening all day
That do for me

I just have to hope I can get to Pompey for the 'cat without putting the roof up on Thursday morning

I'm packing for cool and damp. Proper boots, a decent sleeping bag and a waterproof coat.
Shorts and loafers at the bottom of the bag just in case.

Me too, the Norwegian forecast just got worse

BBC forecast now turning into a dream scenario - totally dry, 20C but with cloud cover on race day so we won't get cooked. Then the sun comes out in the evening. Can't believe it!

They're just trying to get back into everyone's Good Books after yesterday's Licence Fee announcement.

Despite being a bunch of liberal EU propaganda self-serving tax payer funded s I do think their weather service deserves full commendation

The rain started an hour ago and is getting progressively worse, with storms predicted later on. Now same weather for tomorrow predicted, except that it will start in the morning and continue all day. Some marshals have just been to see us and taken away the electric heater for their tent. We have the central heating on!

But the BBC said it's going to be alright ! Although my normal tactic is to go through every weather report until I find one with good weather

It changes every time I look. Could go either way but mixed conditions seems a guarantee.

Need to remember to close the bedroom windows to avoid any rain wetting the carpet. :-)

Don’t check latest accuweather update unless you want disappointment.

Yet sitting on Houx, it's overcast and cool. Nothing more than sports if rain. Correctly 17°c on the caravan roof. No, I'm not up there, the temp sensor is.

How wet / flooded is Houx ?

[Tyre Smoke]

It's largely dry. Just started to rain properly. No big puddles, no quagmire in the middle. However if this rain keeps up...
