Drink The Official 2011 Le Mans Weather Thread
Time for Ayse's favourite pre Le Mans thread - you know the rules........


Usual links below, but feel free to post further links to add to the baffling diversity of opinion offered by the professionals:

Accuweather

Metcheck

Agate France

La Chaine Meteo

Seems crystal clear to me that we're in for an absolute scorcher this year!




(Note to self: must remember to pack my umbrella to supplement the cover offered by my sun hat........you can't be too careful! )

I wouldn't mind a scorcher, Spa was unusually hot and that swung the pendulum towards Peugeot in terms of pace compared to the chilly LM test day.

Hope you're right, but the Accuweather predicts rain on friday the 10th. (the latest of their predicted days for today May 28th). This one predicts some little rain during the build-up week and 3.4 mm on sunday evening.
http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Raci...it.aspx?sday=7
But as we are two weeks away, the predictions are a little unthrustworhty. I'll wait another week for choosing between packing my sunscreen or umbrella! (Probably will end up packing both!)

It hasn't ****ed for a while here, near La Loire. Just a little yesterday. This year, sometimes it's stormy, many cumulus, but no ****.

that is not being very nice, perhaps the rain could stay in Austria, you will be indoors watching the race so it will not be to bad for you.

We have had more than enough rain in the last couple of years

For all that the cascades of rain on Friday night last year were unwelcome (apart fro fostering some blitz spirit amongst neighbours) I don't think I'm in a hurry for a scorcher. I struggled a bit with the hot sun in 2009 and in some ways Spa was almost too hot too. Temperature in the early 20s with a bit of wind would work fine for me.

Nice and warm with a bit of breeze - that's perfect for me. I just don't want that nasty wet precipitation........

You knew that I'd have to, didn't you........

Don't believe it. It'll either come early or arrive late.......It's done that so many times.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I've seen the weatherpredictions change from rain to sunny and now back to rain again. One more change and it's OK!

I'm still confident. I seem to recall last year or the year before the weathermen predicted virtually non-stop rain all week and it never happened. Keep the faith people!
