Must be Good/Firm by now. Rain tomorrow.

No, nowhere near good to firm :highly_amused:

Haha no, they announced it was soft / good to soft today. Expecting firm in the going 2 days into the spring after a rained off winter is a little bit mad tbh :excitement:

Been glorious for pretty much 10 days here in Cheltenham with the ground described officially as good to soft.

Monday through Friday next week has rain forecast every day. Obviously all forecasts can change, and for all I know it could be light patches of rain that are countered throughout the day by strong wind, but there is rain forecast.

:highly_amused: If it doesn't rain in the next few days it'll be sand.

I got this far in.....

"the start of the four-day Festival in 13 days’ time."



and got a pang of excitement back :triumphant:





Although this is without a doubt my least favourite thread every year.

Even though I understand the merit, talking about weather, to strangers on the internet, makes me feel sad :highly_amused::highly_amused::highly_amused:

Light drizzle here today. Very light and stop start. Doubt it's getting too much into the ground.

Rained for 13 minutes and 43 seconds here, I'm 43.1 miles away from the course

Happy to keep the forum informed, hourly until race day.

You are already 4 minutes late in updating haha

Overcast today on course, no rain whilst I was there. The light rain yesterday didn't get into the ground at all.

Thanks for update Charlie.

 

[Supermaster]

The advanced forecast for Cheltenham for the first two days of the festival is sunny intervals and dry. Is there a Norton's Coin?

 

[germanshepherd]

The modules guy says possible snow next week. He said cold snap 2 weeks into March. See if the modules were right.
