I figured it's got to be getting towards that time again this year. Seeing as Accuweather have their long range forecast up. Mainly though just to remind Kiters42 not to forget his obligations. Let's be honest, it's the most accurate forecast for the event. I know I'm a month early though.

22C sun and clouds would be quite pleasant. Last year it pushed through 30C and was unbelievably hot!delta0 said:

And you're complaining about that? A far cry from 2015 when we went Tuesday to Monday there was one cloud. It appeared on the horizon Friday around midday and floated across the sky, solitary, over the course of about 20 minutes. It covered the sun for what had to be less than 45 seconds and dropped Bleu Sud in to shade, then was gone again.
Sunday saw temperatures reach 34C on Bleu Sud. The Porsche Centre threw out binbags of ice at the end of the race and even with a cracked rib (from trying to climb the wall at the start finish straight the night before), I carried five to Bleu Sud, an accomplice brought three. We threw them in the paddling pool with all our feet in it and all the ice was gone in half an hour.
It was glorious. I hope the cat bestows similar weather this year.

I might as well go away "darn sarf" this year anyway. Bar stewards, after me writing four page articles with seven photos on the race for four magazines for 20 years have said I am not far enough up the food chain to warrant passes this year. So much for loyalty! I reckon they are reducing the number of photographers (who are free) and replacing with those who take video who pay a minimum of €5,000. I might buy a drone.Me too. It's like the Le Mans version of Punxsutawney Phil, just more accurate.
I genuinely base my packing on the cat's predictions. What's the name of the cat?
