I am amazed that they (pundits) talk about the rain as if it were a massive
mystery. If one of them had shelled out £19 they could have sat and looked
at weatheronlines 5 min radar and happily watched the rain all blinking day
and where it was going.

I think what happened is that at the start of the tourney, Sunday was
highlighed as the best day and gradually that has changed, albeit quite late
in the day.

Mark James has never been able to predict a winner in any tournament so he
should hold his tongue regarding forecasts.

Quote " forecasts have been dodgy all week" said Mark James after reading
out a three hourly forecast for today. It basically said 80% chance of
light rain first thing dropping to dry with 30% chance of light shower for
afternoon. It was heavy rain this morning which could clearly be seen on
the TV. BUT, I wonder what was their source for the forecast? I thought
the UKMO had said there was a weather warning for that area and they were
on the edge of some heavy stuff, at least. So I'm not sure if the comments
were justified - perhaps those nearer to that area could comment.
