Heavy shower for the last 30min in Cirencester some 13 miles north west of the track.

A fair bit of rain here overnight so could be in doubt

Unless I am reading it wrong 5pm states partly cloudy but underneath it has 47% rain, so they seem to be as confused as all the other forecasts. But there is 0% snow due

Have had no rain in south Swindon since early this morning.

I'm in South Glos and it has started to rain about 12:30 and is now steady and as I type this, getting heavier!

 

I do not intend to attend this afternoon and whilst I can appreciate those asking for and those giving weather updates my experience of the KL meeting just highlights how tricky this can be.

 

I travelled down from Reading, left work, back to the hotel, change and off we set, rain started and then got heavier as we headed west. I stopped on route to check twitter and low and behold an update with a picture from Rosco, all fine at the Abbey. Met Office web site checked, looked like the rain would just be missing the Abbey. Onward we went and still wet until about 2 miles away from the Abbey on the A419 and then the roads were dry! Without the update trackside and the weather update, I would have turned round!

3 miles from track and no rain at all today very cloudy though feels a bit stormy and temperature has dropped a bit really hard to say what's going to happen....we need to get this on for our 4+4 otherwise our imminent signing has to keep sthum and stay part time!

Blunsdon is strange as often it can be raining all round the hill but not at the track, unfortunately it seems very rare to get an update from someone at the track. Unfortunately I am not able to post any reports from the track when I get there this afternoon about 3 as my phone is one that only works within a few meters of the box on the wall at home.

I just drove past the turnoff to Blunsdon and it does appear fairly dry whereas either side of that there were puddles evident (Cricklade and Sainsbury's). Therefore looks like the track may have dodged the mid day shower

[A ORLOV]

Heavy rain forecast at 2pm now changed to light rain, still dry so far so just about to leave.

Raining heavily north of Cricklade but Blunsdon was dry at 145pm

Can't use new averages until All teams have completed 4+4, until then its the original 50pts aves that apply

Not strictly true as rules state that BSPA can if averages not attained by 1st May then BSPA can impose averages based on actual rides. Not at sure as to when this likely to happen as we are way past that date.

Weather update: steady rain in Chippenham, 25 miles from the Abbey

[hagonshocker]

Another weather update raining quite steadily 3 miles south of track

Some heavy rain is approaching from the south if you check out the radar

[hagonshocker]

Already hit us!

[Najjer]

Not sure when Scunthorpe was called off today, but does that mean Lewis Kerr comes back into the side if he can make it?

[Wotstheweatherlike]

Meeting off

Can't see why not

[DunRobin]

Robin's site says new date for meeting to be announced later. Why didn't they just re-arrange it for Thursday, it's a reserved date!

[Gresham78]

Just announced on Wiltshire Radio that restaging next Thursday was considered but Grajczonek and Wright both riding for their Championship sides that night. Robins now considering a double header on August bank holiday..
