Netweather's forecast for Lowther Castle Thurs - Sunday looks incredible... Beyond what my wildest imaginations were a week ago!!!

 

One tiny shower Thursday... 

 

 

 

 

 

Stick, Stick, Stick...

(Edited to add: It should be noted that this is in stark contrast to the BBC forecast, and I'd still expect rain!!! The Iphone weather app pretty much agrees with Netweather though. 🙂 )

That's mental - are netweather usually accurate? All the others have varying degrees of rain, some still quite bad!

Netweather are usually good.

The only one I've seen that is a complete contrast to this is BBC, and can only get Penrith on there. 

iphone is showing a couple of pathetically tiny showers, (mostly over night) all weekend, and that is at Lowther Castle. 

 

 

 

Metoffice is showing around a 30-50% chance of very light showers on Saturday and Sunday. With a 50-60% chance of a moderate shower on Sunday. 

Metcheck is showing a chance of very light showers Saturday and Sunday, (just 0.2 to 0.5mm) With Thursday (after gates) and Friday being pretty much dry. 

There's definitely not the apocalyptic forecasts that there were this time last week.

Sunday not looking the greatest like, but rather Sunday then the Friday.

Yeh, considering the low that is going to be sitting over us, one and a half centimeters of rain over 4 hours is nothing really... A fine drizzle. 

I just prey this all holds true now, after getting our hopes up!!!

They'd asked people not to leave Sunday, and stay until 7am Monday for that reason, unfortunately if you don't follow their socials it wasn't well communicated around the arena from what I could see.
