The White Knight 9,039 Posted May 21, 2014 This evenings rain is due to arrive in the Ipswich area around 7pm, this is projected rainfall at low resolution.... Is it accurate, yes sometimes, but the margins for error/metrological changes is also a factor.... All it would need for this to be inaccurate is a smallish wind change/pressure change and it may not arrive until 9pm or later........ This is a difficult one to call, might rain, might rain later than modelled... Who'd be a Weather Forecaster!!!!!! PS Poole look like escaping the rain until much later than originally modelled so should be ok.... Matt Ford will have seen to that.................................................. :rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted May 21, 2014 http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ says it should have been raining for last 30 mins or so and will continue for a while. However no sign of it about a mile away from Foxhall and after driving home its looks to be getting brighter! Possibly famous last words though.........

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 21, 2014 According to a reputable rain radar, it should be hissing it down in Ipswich, anyone able to confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spanner47 336 Posted May 21, 2014 I'll arrive at 7-35 and hope for the best, but who'd be a promoter? Lose lose situation, if It's on then only a sparse crowd will turn up anyway, if It's off you lose money and have to try and rearrange when we might be able to field a full team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
