Accuweather - who may well share same sources as the Weather Channel, are saying pretty much the same thing.

I suspect the sort of summers we've had in Northern Europe the past few years might have to be regarded as the new normal.

To be honest, while a nice warm Le Mans would be nice, I can live with a forecast like this - I don't look great in shorts, some of the best moments of common cause camaraderie in the campsite have come when the heavens have opened (think it was 2009 when we had a monumental storm on Friday night and we ended up lashing tents together?), and the mixed weather chucks a whole number of variables into the race that could throw all the predictions out the window.

Either way - there will be weather at Le Mans this year, and I'm pretty sure we'll manage to cope with it.

Well I'm still hedging my bets on a completely sunny, rain free race...

Still, I'd rather see your very white legs then having Audi handed the very sure advantage of rain...
