The GFS 00Z is slight improvement. 

Mon & Tue there is rain but much less heavy than some previous runs.

Wed - mostly dry with very light rain in afternoon 

Thu - very light rain afternoon 

Fri - No rain 

Sat - Pretty much no rain. Very light rain sweeps close by in afternoon.

Sun - again potential for VERY light rain in late afternoon.

Definitely improving. 

Yeh I think the 00z is a lot better than that pesky 18z. Those light showers showing on some days are so light that they may never materialise, and if they do they're nothing. 

Tuesday is the main issue on the 00z, (can't forget those Tuesday folk) if that could just lessen further still it would be grand.

The midnight run of the Canadian GEM is out and it is a good run.  It even thinks most of Sundays and Tuesdays rain will miss the site to the east.  After that, it’s just one or two showers all the way, with next Saturdays rain again mostly missing us (as per the GFS).

Temperatures 21-23c every day…

Same with the ECMWF 00z

Nothing but a few light rain showers up until opening... Then the possibility of the lightest, barely registerable, showers on a few other days.

Let’s hope there’s no final, final, final twist to the never ending saga!

Is anyone else finding themselves refreshing this page more frantically than See Tickets on T-day?

Yeah. It’s addictive.

I logged off last night with the disastrous Tuesday run, ended up more pissed than usual.

 

Blame this thread

Fair to say it all went a bit rocky while I was away yesterday. Let's have a quick 00Z before the 06Z comes up in a couple of hours.

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

The Sunday rain is much reduced, as it was on the 18Z, and there's the chance the heaviest rain hits to the east of the site.

A small amount of rain on Tuesday, but nothing nasty as we saw in yesterday's runs.

Dry when gates open, temps of 18.

Wednesday is effectively dry, temps of 21.

THURSDAY

Small showers around, but really small amount of rain. Highs of 22.

FRIDAY

Totally dry, highs of 22.

And is high pressure building in?

SATURDAY

Totally dry, highs of 22.

This is a big improvement, as the 00Z had a deluge.

SUNDAY

Dry, highs of 22.

SUMMARY

A lovely run, with nothing but a few small showers and temperatures of 21-22.

As you can see from the Sunday chart, however, there is some doubt about what will happen with that area of low pressure.

You know what that means? KNIFE EDGE! See you at 11.30am.

It seems I missed quite the roller coaster yesterday. 😆

All the boys who think a few spits of rain equals a mud bath, now packing kayaks and waders.

With only 4 days to go now when can we deem the forecasts/models accurate?

Assume its raining just now on site. How heavy is it?

It's fine now. Light cloud. Had about 7.5mm of rain last night I would say.

Surely 7.5mm, unless you’re posting from a dinghy
