2024 Advance Going Report

[Eggs]

…..Aintree weather watch, Friday;

Very wet overnight, one downpour at 01.30 was particularly heavy pounding against the windows. Not raining at the moment but a grey morning. I wonder if the Mildmay course will join the National course in having ‘heavy’ in its description.

….been threatening to rain all morning but it’s stayed dry so far. Forecast isn’t too bad for the rest of the day but might have a few hours rain during the night.

Storm Kathleen maybe hitting the area, strong winds will help if the rain blows through.

If it went ahead in 2018, then this year's meeting isn't at risk.

Good point, cheers mate

…Aintree weather watch; Saturday;

Doesn’t appear to have been much rain overnight, currently dry and breezy. Storm Kathleen supposed to be hitting the NW today with strong winds and decent temperatures, much will depend on if she deposits any rain.

Thanks for the daily updates Eggs, really appreciated.

….you’re welcome.

Lovely bright and breezy day today and relatively mild. Getting a little overcast now, still breezy and fingers crossed we don’t get a shower.

….Aintree weather update, Sunday;

After a glorious sunny and breezy drying day on Saturday, the rain arrived again last night and there’s been some really heavy showers overnight including one in the last hour. It’s currently wet on the ground (07.00am) but bits of blue in the sky.

I've honestly woken up this morning and the first thing I thought about was this thread. Keep it up Eggs

….ha, ha. Turned into a very bright, dry and breezy morning after the overnight downpours. Feels a bit like one step forward, two steps backward, official going will be of interest.

Edit; official going as at 09.00am this morning is Soft on Mildmay; Soft, Heavy in places on the GN course. For those that don’t know, the Mildmay is fairly flat but the National course drops down to the Canal Turn area before rising gradually heading home.

Unsurprisingly, it looks like the area at the bottom of the course is where it’s heavy.

….lovely morning but the rain has arrived again this afternoon and it’s been fairly persistant for an hour.

Thanks for the regular daily, sometimes twice daily updates. The only decision to make seems to be which variety of soft/heavy we'll be getting come Thursday.

….actually lovely finish to the day after that unsettled spell earlier. Very sunny at the moment with a nice breeze.

….Aintree weather update, Monday;

In the main yesterday was quite pleasant but we had that period of rain in the afternoon. I couldn’t hear any overnight stuff but that might be down to the rums & ginger but showers are evident from the puddles in my road and there’s still whispy rain in the air now. Forecast is for it to dry up with possibility of further showers.

I suspect official going later will have remained unchanged.

….official going is as it was; Soft on Mildmay; Soft, heavy in places on National course.

17.4mm rain fell between last Wed/Sat. 3.6mm on Sun and 2.2mm so far today with 8-10mm expected. Forecast to brighten Tues/Wed with risk of showers but it’s been overcast and damp so far this morning.

….not much happened today, bits or rain in the air & mainly overcast and dull but relatively mild. Forecast appears a bit kinder over the next few days, I think it’d have to be very good to change the current official going.

 

[Lobos]

Gong to be very windy tomorrow and plenty of sunshine and warm for Thursday through to Saturday so very likely to dry out a fair bit I'd say.

 

[Yosser]

80% chance of rain in Aintree tomorrow and expected to be heavy dowwnpours if it lands. Just had a weather alert come through on my laptop.

If it's anything like we've had today in Ireland, expect 10 hours of steady rain, which for us has also been occasionally heavy downpours.

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

The forecast I was looking at predicted 1/2 inch of rain tomorrow at Aintree. All will depend on how much of that rain hits.
