hyabb17 1,077 Posted May 9, 2019 The roads around Highworth (just outside Swindon) are flooded. The track will have taken lots of water on it. The correct call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They key thing from that is the percentage chance, shown underneath. From 2-3pm it shows a 14% chance of a shower and no rain at any other time - glass half full everyone .
