Long range I know, but...
40% chance of rain
12 degrees C
11mph wind from SW

Sounds like a good chance of some mixed track conditions

Metcheck are giving a small chance of rain during the day.

Hardly worth looking at forecasts,chaps. With trillions of terabytes (or whatever) of computing power they will still get it wrong (and keep their jobs - amazing). To be fair, trying to say where a specific band of rain will be 5 days in advance. ain't easy. When I l looked at metcheck this morning, it predicted rain all day for Sunday (in Northants), a few hours on and it seemed that it won't kick in till 3pm. Just gotta to go take another look....

Oh come on - it's amazing they can get one day right given the factors!

Although, in "general" metcheck is pretty good, and whilst the graphics have changed, that's a factor of their website logic - the raw "rain" colum has hardly changed at all apart from the lunchtime bit that's got a lot wetter!

Working in computers that have to (only) compute 2^10 combinations in seconds, I have ultimate respect for a programme that can churn out 2^15-2^17 combinations in a few hours!

It's now rain all day. Even though bbc weather said last night it was going to be a fine weekend.

FFS.

All the weather channels are now saying that it will not rain until late on Sunday night so we should have a clear day all day.

Looking forward to seeing you all there
