Not exactly mid Hants so has been pointed out to me by the more worthy
half,
will be at Popham Airfield for a 3 day flying event so hopefully it
will be
tolerable ;-)

Plenty of time for the charts to change - it has been glorius down
here with a max on Thurs and sat' of 25.9c, otherwise 23/24c -
cooler today 21/22c but not a cloud in the sky .

Which village/town will you be camping in ?

Off camping from Friday until Tuesday in mid Hampshire, is it me or
does it
look like a dire damp, soggy spell next weekend with the warm front
creeping
north from the continent?





The latest GFS outlook (as at the time of this post) shows a very
indeterminate precipitation pattern with, if anything, the highest risk
over the far SE, East Anglia and the East Midlands.

The ECMWF output suggests the blocking anticyclone will be further north
with low pressure more evident over S. England. The outlook currently
on the Met Office site is couched in language which suggests low
confidence in any outcome.

This sort of situation is often not well predicted by computer models.
Bear in mind that only a few days ago the Met Office outlook out to 30
days was much less rain than normal for the foreseeable future. My
forecast is "whatever they say, we will get what comes".
