Looking at Cheltenham on my weather app, rain is forecast for eight of the next nine days. The question is: how much?
Not a forecast site but a good site for what is / has fallen.
I am just a 7 hour 59 minute walk away from cheltenham racecourse and a car is no good to me I need a boat after that downpour we just had.
“I am just a 7 hour 59 minute walk away from cheltenham racecourse”
So eight hours on Elegant Escape, then?
I took this photo on my phone this morning.
Someone needs to tell the canoeist it’s a left handed track and he is going the wrong way.Where is this forecast for thunderstorms, Potato ?
Not often I get to see thunderstorms when it’s 8 degrees
20mm of rain forecast for wednesday 6th march:
http://www.weather-wherever.co.uk/united-kingdom/cheltenham_v13026/j2/
13mm over last two days and the forecast I use says 8mm tomorrow, not 20mm, with 35-40mm between now and the festival
different sites say different things.
The key rainfall will be if it rains heavily on the weds and or Thursday especially if it’s raining whilst the racing is on.
The site I use has predicted biblical amounts of rainfall on the weds and thursday.
What happened to insanely wet Storm Freya then ?
This was the forecast that I posted on Feb 17th and it was pretty much spot on
“ The long term forecast website I use suggests there will be little rain between now and the end of the month ( 20mm accumulated in the South West and much of England ) another high pressure next weekend but early March could see cold air from the Arctic drop into Scandinavia and Central Europe – similar to last Spring “
8-9 degrees all next week with just occasional showers for the Cotswolds.
My google search is better than your google search
It comes to something when all you have been reduced to is claiming you have acessed the best weather site on a racing forum.

It’s not all i have, it’s all your coming up with. Wild assertions about the abilities of Elegant Escape and the amount of rain that will fall during the festival; I haven’t seen one forecast that resembles the one you’re giving, for which i’ve asked proof of but received nothing but another little ditty
They had 0.6mm yesterday, which makes almost 14mm in three days.
Currently Good, Good to Soft in places with showers due all day today -one forecast says 8mm, one says more.
( Good to Soft at the bottom of the hill and the turn back onto the course near the line, probably due to the run-off from the Best Mate enclosure )

Maybe the clerk of course is having us on
Absolutely battering it down right at this moment. When I say heavy I mean heavy.
I’m in worcester but it’s only 20 miles or so away. Will almost certainly be the same at chelt.

Even if there was plenty of rain I would expect Native River to finish ahead of Elegant Escape anyway. I don’t see any permutation of the ground conditions entertaining an Elegant Escape win.
Thanks for letting me know Mike.
I will rip up my betting tickets because you cant see Elegant escape winning.
When you have woken up and stopped dreaming let me know.
Native River is not even 100% fit in my personal opinion.
