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.

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 ****.

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! |

We must remember that those weather predictions isn't really reliable until a few days before .
So cross your fingers Ayse. |

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!
