... looks 'changeable' at best, a mix of cloud, breeze, light rain and thunderstorms, that doesn't leave too much opportunity for any sunshine!
Sadly and unusually every forecaster predicts the same.

Just had a look at www.weatheroptimists.com which is suggesting 80 degrees, a delicate breeze, warm evenings and no precipitation during the weekend.
You just have to look at the right forecast!

Bit early for accurate forecasts at the moment, but Weatherpro shows sh*t Monday ( guess when I'm arriving and setting up! ).
80% chance of showers Tuesday.
45% chance showers Wednesday.
Dry rest of week.
Temps in the 21 to 23 range daytime, 13 to 16 at night.

Think I'll need it, beer or cider while raining, set up in between.
Might have to finish setting up Tuesday due to over refreshment!

There as been quite a lot of rain on and off locally since sunday evening, I doubt the campsites will be bone dry next week.... But the sun is trying to come out as I type this approx. 20 mins west of the circuit ;D

Galoshes*. You must remember to pack your galoshes.

Current view is rain/thunderstorms on Wednesday, with improvements through to Saturday/Sunday
Likely to be pretty dry from Thursday onwards, with occasional showers in the area.
(I got this from the way the cat was washing herself, so it might not be quite as accurate as it could be...... ;) )
